Threaded pipework remains one of the most widely used joining methods in MEP design, particularly across heating, cooling, and mechanical services pipework systems. Unlike press-fit pipe systems, threaded pipework uses mechanical tightening rather than press tools or sealing rings. This makes it ideal for projects where ease of installation, maintenance, and adaptability are key.

Ward threaded fittings are trusted across a wide range of MEP applications, including heating, chilled water, compressed air, and general mechanical services. Our free collection brings that same reliability directly into your BIM workflow. Class 150 malleable iron fittings having outlets ranging from 1/2” through 4” and are air tested at 80 psig.

Our collection features a compact set of essential fittings – pipe type, reducer, coupling, bend (elbow), end cap, reducing and equal tee. We've created the pipe type itself with the full routing preferences already defined, so you can load it and start drawing your pipework without a second thought.

Bends & Tees

The bend covers the Ward 45 degree and 90 degree elbows. The tee family is capable of equal size connections and reducing branches.

Just like with our other piping collections, such as Streamline, PSA and NIBCO, our Ward threaded piping collection includes features for flexible installation, custom fittings and internal connectors. Below is a quick breakdown of how these work and the benefits they bring to Revit projects.

Flexible Installation

The pipe type has been given a 1 degree tolerance. For instance, the tee can produce 89-91 degree branches to suit any small discrepancies in coordination. This tolerance also allows for installation at a fall/gradient without throwing a Revit error, which can happen with some of Revit’s out-of-the-box fittings.

IsCustom Option

Revit’s built-in IsCustom option helps keep your design workflow fast and flexible. If an invalid angle or nominal diameter is used, Revit still allows the pipe to be drawn but flags the fitting as custom and highlights it in bright red. You can model freely, then quickly spot and fix any issues later.

Internal Connectors for improved material takeoff

These fittings have their system connectors placed inside the socket as per real life installation. This allows for more accurate coordination and especially material take-offs in Revit.

The Ward threaded pipework Revit collection is designed to provide a reliable, easy-to-use solution for modeling traditional pipe systems.
