Metal Products Company DS30 Duct Saddle 5.5 X 30 Inches

Product Description

The METAL PRODUCTS COMPANY DS30 is a duct saddle measuring 5.5 inches wide by 30 inches long, designed for use in sheet metal ductwork fabrication and installation. Duct saddles are used to support or tie into rectangular or round duct runs, providing a secure mechanical connection point at branch takeoffs or duct intersections. This fitting is typically installed by sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians during new construction or retrofit ductwork projects where a saddle-style tap or support is required.

This duct saddle is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 5.5-inch by 30-inch saddle fitting is needed. It is commonly used at branch connection points along main duct trunks, securing branch ducts while maintaining airflow integrity throughout the system. Installers working with forced-air heating and cooling systems will find this fitting applicable to standard low-pressure supply and return duct configurations.
