Air Flow Products 169026 90 Degree Elbow 26 Gauge 16 in

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 169026 is a 90-degree sheet metal elbow used in ducted HVAC air distribution systems. Fabricated from 26-gauge steel, this fitting redirects airflow at a right angle and is sized at 16 inches. It is a standard component in trunk-and-branch duct systems, connecting main supply or return runs where a direction change is required. HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers use this fitting during new construction and retrofit duct installations alike.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where 16-inch diameter fittings are specified. It is appropriate for supply or return air applications requiring a 90-degree turn. The 26-gauge construction provides the rigidity expected for installations in attic, crawlspace, basement, and mechanical room environments.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle duct transitions
• 16-inch size fits standard large-diameter duct runs
• 26-gauge steel construction for structural rigidity
• Compatible with standard sheet metal duct assembly methods including drive and S-slip connections
• Suitable for supply and return air applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 16-inch round or rectangular sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal workers. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before beginning duct work. Secure the elbow using drive cleats, S-slips, or sheet metal screws as appropriate to the duct configuration, and seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements.
