Hcp 401488 Sheet Metal Duct Elbow 14x8 Inch 28 Gauge

Product Description

The HCP 401488 is a sheet metal vertical 90 degree elbow duct fitting designed for rectangular duct systems in forced-air HVAC applications. Fabricated from 28-gauge galvanized sheet metal, this fitting measures 14 inches by 8 inches and provides a clean 90 degree vertical directional change in ductwork runs. It is sized for standard rectangular trunk or branch duct configurations and is installed by sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians during new construction or duct system retrofits. The 28-gauge construction offers adequate rigidity for low-pressure supply and return air applications typical in residential and light commercial systems.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems and light commercial HVAC installations where a vertical 90 degree turn is required in a rectangular duct run. It fits into standard sheet metal duct systems using slip, drive, or S-and-drive connections typical of rectangular duct assembly. The 14 inch by 8 inch size is a common rectangular duct dimension used in trunk-line and main-branch configurations.

Key Features

• 14 inches x 8 inches rectangular duct size for standard trunk and branch applications
• 28-gauge sheet metal construction provides structural rigidity for low-pressure duct systems
• Vertical 90 degree elbow geometry for directional changes in rectangular ductwork runs
• Compatible with standard slip, drive, and S-and-drive duct connection methods
• Sheet metal fabrication supports sealing with mastic or metal-backed tape per code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for standard 14 inch by 8 inch rectangular forced-air duct systems in residential and light commercial HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal worker. Power down the air handling unit and ensure the system is de-energized before beginning ductwork modifications. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed mastic or metal-backed tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines. Avoid over-crimping the duct collar, as deformation can restrict airflow and compromise sealing surfaces.
