<p>Free siamese connection CAD block for fire fighting drawings — a two-way, wall-mounted fire department connection drawn in plan, front elevation and side elevation, ready to insert into your shop drawings.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s in the file</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plan view</strong> — Y-body, both inlets at 45°, outlet stub to the riser</li>
<li><strong>Front elevation</strong> — escutcheon plate, both swivel couplings, identification plate outline</li>
<li><strong>Side elevation</strong> — projection from the finished wall face</li>
</ul>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Type</td>
<td>Two-way siamese / FDC, wall mounted, through-wall</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Inlets</td>
<td>2 × 65 mm (2½″) swivel couplings with caps and chains</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Outlet</td>
<td>100 mm (4″) into the standpipe or sprinkler riser</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Scale</td>
<td>1:1, millimetres</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Format</td>
<td>DWG (AutoCAD 2018+) and DXF</td>

<p>Base point sits on the outlet centreline, so it lands on your riser without adjustment. All geometry is on a single layer for quick re-assignment to your project standard. No xrefs, no proxy objects, no custom fonts.</p>
<h2>Before you place it</h2>
<p>Three things reviewers check on this fitting, worth confirming while the block is still on your screen:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mounting height</strong> — inlets 450–1,200 mm above adjacent finished grade, dimensioned on the elevation.</li>
<li><strong>Ball drip</strong> — an automatic drain between the siamese and the check valve, shown on the riser diagram. Its absence is the most common comment on this detail.</li>
<li><strong>Capacity</strong> — each 65 mm inlet is credited with about 950 L/min. Above roughly 1,900 L/min you need a four-way body, not this one.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also check the side view against your facade detail — the projection from the finished wall face decides whether the couplings clear the reveal.</p>
<h2>Identification plate</h2>
<p>The plate is drawn as an outline so you can add your own text. It must state what sits behind the connection: STANDPIPE, AUTO SPKR, or STANDPIPE AND AUTO SPKR. Separate systems need separate, labelled connections.</p>

<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Is this block metric or imperial?</h3>
<p>Metric, millimetres, drawn 1:1. Scale by 0.03937 on insert for an imperial drawing.</p>
<h3>Will it open in older AutoCAD?</h3>
<p>The DWG is saved for AutoCAD 2018 and later. Use the included DXF for older versions, or for BricsCAD, ZWCAD, NanoCAD and LibreCAD.</p>
<h3>Can I use it on commercial projects?</h3>
<p>Yes. Free for personal and commercial use, no attribution required.</p>
