Pipe branching collars

I'm looking for the Revit model of this type of pipe connector, adapter, collar, branch or derivation. It's used for water supply. Is there any family available?

You can try creating it yourself if you can't find it anywhere.  It doesn't look complicated.

I would use a simple tee or tap for the model and then use a detail drawing to show the actual model

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

The problem with the Tee is that it has the same diameter on all connections. Doesn't look realistic on 3D. Probably I need to add some kind of adapter.

Depends on the libraries you have installed. For example I have used the "Tee Branch Reduced - Threaded - GMI.rfa" from the Revit 2016 UK library 

(\UK\Pipe\Fittings\BS 143 Galvanised Malleable Iron\Threaded)

Most of the time I would take a simple one from the library and modify it to my needs or create my own from sratch.

Hello,

 

You should choose a family that supports different sizes.

Unfortunatelly, I can´t tell which one will be OK, I use my own families.

I guess it's a bit more complicated than I predicted.

Thank you.  It took about an hour, but I was also watching an episode of the x-files while creating it.  It's not perfect and needs some refinement if I was to actually use the family.
