Air Flow Products 86F16 Full Flow Tee 16x16x16

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 86F16 is a full flow tee fitting designed for duct and air distribution systems. It allows a straight-through airflow path while simultaneously supplying a branch takeoff, maintaining balanced pressure and volume across all three openings. This configuration reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to standard tee fittings, making it well suited for HVAC supply and return trunk systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics typically install this fitting during new construction or retrofit ductwork projects.

The 86F16 is used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where consistent airflow distribution is required across multiple zones or branch runs. Its 16x16x16 inch configuration makes it appropriate for main trunk lines supplying larger air volumes. It is typically installed in forced-air heating and cooling systems where balanced static pressure across branch connections is a priority.

Key Features

• Full flow design maintains airflow volume through both the main trunk and branch takeoff
• Reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the tee junction
• 16x16x16 inch opening configuration suits larger trunk duct runs
• Designed for use in forced-air HVAC supply and return duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 16-inch rectangular duct trunk systems in forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or certified sheet metal mechanic. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before beginning ductwork modification. Secure all connections with appropriate fasteners and seal joints with approved mastic or metal foil tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA standards. Duct systems should be inspected for proper support and clearance per applicable local codes before returning the system to service.
