Air Flow Products 84RAT12 Stick-on Takeoff Round 12 in

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 84RAT12 is an airtight stick-on takeoff fitting designed for round ductwork. It provides a sealed branch connection point on existing round pipe without requiring cutting tools or sheet metal screws for the initial attachment. The adhesive-backed design allows the fitting to bond directly to the duct surface, reducing air leakage at the branch tap. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this type of fitting during duct system fabrication and retrofit work to add branch runs to main trunk lines or round feeder pipes.

The 84RAT12 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where a 12-inch round branch takeoff is needed. It is appropriate for new construction installations as well as retrofit situations where adding a branch run to an existing round duct is required. The stick-on, airtight design makes it a practical choice when access is limited or when minimizing duct leakage at branch connections is a project priority.

Key Features

• Airtight adhesive-backed design bonds directly to round duct surface
• 12-inch round opening for standard round branch duct connections
• Eliminates the need for screws or additional fasteners during initial attachment
• Designed for round pipe duct systems in HVAC applications
• Supports low-leakage duct assembly in residential and light commercial systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style branch fitting for round pipe duct systems commonly found in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations requiring a 12-inch round takeoff connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic. The air handling system should be powered down and airflow stopped before attaching the takeoff to ensure a proper seal. The duct surface should be clean and free of dust or grease before applying the adhesive-backed fitting. Local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards should be referenced for duct system requirements.
