Metal Products Company DS20 Duct Saddle 5.5 X 20 Inches

Product Description

The METAL PRODUCTS COMPANY DS20 is a sheet metal duct saddle measuring 5.5 inches by 20 inches, designed for use in forced-air HVAC ductwork systems. A duct saddle serves as a fitting that bridges or supports a branch takeoff connection from a main trunk duct, allowing airflow to be directed from the main supply trunk into a branch run. This fitting is typically fabricated from sheet metal and is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers during new duct installations or duct modification work. Its standard rectangular form factor fits common residential and light commercial ductwork layouts.

The DS20 duct saddle is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air system installations where a branch connection is needed off a main supply or return air trunk. It is commonly used in new construction and retrofit applications where sheet metal ductwork is the specified system. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors typically incorporate saddle fittings like this one when laying out branch runs from a central air handler or furnace trunk line.

Key Features

• Standard 5.5-inch by 20-inch dimensions for consistent fit in common duct layouts
• Sheet metal construction for durability in forced-air duct systems
• Designed for branch takeoff connections from main trunk ducts
• Suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in standard residential and light commercial forced-air ductwork systems where a 5.5-inch by 20-inch saddle fitting is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal workers in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the International Mechanical Code. Power down the air handling system before making any duct modifications or fitting connections. Sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic are typically used to secure and seal saddle fittings to the main trunk duct. Ensure all connections are sealed per local energy code requirements before returning the system to operation.
