Download Kusel BIM Files: Revit Families for Stainless Steel Drains


Put a Real Kusel Equipment Drain in Your Revit Model: BIM Files Now Available

Free BIM Downloads for Sanitary Drainage: Floor Drains, Trench Drains, Cleanouts, and P-Traps

Placeholder families slow a project down. They hold a space in the model, but the details that matter like dimensions, outlets, and sumps, still have to be chased down later, usually when there’s no time to chase them.

Our new BIM library fixes that. You can now download ready-to-spec BIM files for the Kusel stainless steel drainage line and drop them straight into your next Revit model.


The Drains You Spec Most, Ready to Model

We built the library around the configurations plumbing engineers actually spec: KE drains in five configurations, including standard, cone bottom, security, security cone bottom, and side outlet models. The complete trench drain family is there too: flat, U, and V bottom profiles, with center or end outlets, with or without sumps. Floor troughs, floor sinks, hub drains, KEM drains, P-traps, cleanouts, and cleanout tees round out the collection. And if your project needs something a standard configuration doesn’t cover, you’re not stuck — every family is built to be customized. The Drain Configurator generates the exact part number and spec text, and our Customizing guide walks you through updating the family to match.


Developed by a Plumbing Designer Who Specs for a Living

We didn’t hand this project to a generalist. Our BIM content was developed with a Revit content specialist who is also a working plumbing designer — someone who spends his days inside the same models you do, and knows exactly how a drain family should behave there. Families are organized to follow the logic of our product line, so finding and placing the right drain feels natural from the first click.


Light Files That Won’t Bog Down Your Model

Every file in our library comes in under 5 MB (most are under 3 MB) with detail where it counts and none where it doesn’t. Your model stays responsive, and your drain spec stays accurate.


The Perfect Partner for the Drain Configurator

The BIM library works hand in hand with our Drain Configurator. Build the exact drain your project needs from more than two million possible variations, generate a part number and matching spec text, then download the BIM file that goes with it. Model it and spec it without leaving your desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to download the Kusel Equipment BIM files?

Yes — sign in at the BIM Downloads Page to access the files. The Best Practices and Customizing guides and the Drain Configurator are open to everyone, no sign-in required.

What file formats do you provide?

Ready-to-use .rfa (Revit family) files with matching .txt type catalogs, so each family loads with the correct type options.

Which Kusel products have BIM files?

Our most popular drain configurations: KE drains in five configurations (standard, cone bottom, security, security cone bottom, and side outlet), trench drains in flat, U, and V bottom profiles with center or end outlets and sump options, plus floor troughs, floor sinks, hub drains, KEM floor drains, P-traps, cleanouts, and cleanout tees.

What’s the right way to load a Kusel family into my project?

Use Insert >> Load Family. Copying and pasting drains between projects can corrupt parameters like Manufacturer, Model, Description, and Outlet Size — the Best Practices Guide explains why.

Will the families work with our existing Drainage Fixture Schedule?

Yes. If your schedule uses the standard Revit parameters — Manufacturer, Model, and Description — they fill in automatically when you place the drain. You only need to number the drain in Mark or Type Mark.

Can I modify a family to fit my project?

Yes, but with one rule: if you use Edit Type to change any parameters, you must also update the Kusel Part Number and Specification fields, or your fixture schedule won’t be accurate. Generate both values in the Drain Configurator and paste them in — the Customizing & Edit Types Guide walks through it step by step.

What if I don’t see the configuration I need?

Not every drain has a BIM file, but every project can use a Kusel Equipment drain. Call us at (920) 261-4112 — custom work is a Kusel specialty, and our team can help you spec a drain that fits your project exactly.
