I have made 3 fire sprinklers and placed a pipe connector where the water line would hook up but when I load it into the project I can't hook a pip to it. I made it using a generic model ceiling based. The jpg I attached is one of the sprinklers I have made and the element properties of the pipe connector. thanks

well if you are going to use this for flow calcs, the flow config should be preset and a loss should be defined, how did you place the connector? on the face? on a plane? did you initially place a fp wet connector?

I placed it on the top most face. fp= fire protection? If so yes I did want to it to be that. But I have tried the other options as well and they did not work.

yes, fp is = to fire protection, did you change the family category from generic model to sprinkler? also are you trying to draw the pipe to or from the sprinkler? are you creating the system in the project?

I made it as a family not in the project. For the generic model to sprinkler I do not know how to do this but I think I would have had to make it in the file not as a separate family. I have all so tried booth way of connecting it. The ceiling I placed in the mep file is grayed out and so is the sprinklers I placed in the ceiling, all so when I select the sprinkler the blue + thing were the pipes hook up does not show up. I don’t no if that has anything to do with this.

ok you are having a couple of problems (thanks there is really no reason to create inplace families in rmep)... the ceiling is grey because rmep unstands architectural elements and to that point your sprinkler is not in the correct category...in the family editor -> settings > family categories (in 2009) in 2010 it is on all tabs... the connector not showing up should be fixed when you change the cat. if not replace and remap the connector.
