Air Flow Products 84RAT16 Stick-on Takeoff 16 Inches

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 84RAT16 is an airtight stick-on takeoff fitting designed for round duct pipe. It provides a sealed branch connection point on round ductwork without the need for cutting or sheet metal fabrication at the trunk. The adhesive-backed design allows the takeoff to bond directly to the duct surface, creating a low-leakage connection suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. This fitting is sized at 16 inches and is typically installed by sheet metal workers and HVAC mechanics during new construction or duct retrofit work.

This takeoff is used where a branch duct must be tapped off an existing round main duct run. It is well suited for forced-air systems in residential applications and light commercial builds where maintaining duct integrity and minimizing air leakage at branch points is a priority. The stick-on design reduces installation time compared to traditional saddle taps or cut-in fittings, making it a practical choice on tight job schedules or in confined spaces.

Key Features

• Airtight adhesive-backed design bonds directly to round duct surface
• 16-inch round sizing for larger trunk or branch duct connections
• Eliminates the need for sheet metal cutting or saddle fabrication at the tap point
• Low-leakage connection supports system efficiency and duct performance
• Designed for round pipe duct systems in HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 16-inch round duct pipe in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC mechanic or sheet metal worker. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is depressurized before attaching the fitting to the duct surface. Clean and degrease the duct surface at the attachment point to ensure a proper adhesive bond. Follow local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards for branch takeoff placement and sealing requirements.
