Air Flow Products 189026 90 Degree Elbow 26 Gauge 18 Inches

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 189026 is an 18-inch, 90-degree sheet metal elbow fabricated in 26-gauge steel. It is a standard duct fitting used to redirect airflow at a right angle within forced-air HVAC duct systems. The 26-gauge construction provides a solid balance of rigidity and workability for typical residential and light commercial ductwork runs. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this fitting when routing supply or return air through walls, ceilings, and mechanical chases that require a sharp directional change.

This elbow fits into standard sheet metal duct systems where an 18-inch section requires a 90-degree turn. It is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling applications as well as light commercial ventilation systems. The fitting connects inline with straight duct sections and other fittings as part of a complete air distribution layout.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle directs airflow through a precise right-angle turn
• 18-inch sizing fits standard large-diameter duct runs
• 26-gauge steel construction offers reliable rigidity for sustained airflow pressure
• Compatible with standard sheet metal duct assembly and fastening methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for standard 18-inch sheet metal forced-air duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics. Power down the air handling equipment before accessing the duct system. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL-listed duct sealant or metal-backed tape per local mechanical code requirements. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines for duct support and hanger spacing.
