Metalcraft 901026 Adjustable 90 Degree Elbow 10 in 26 Ga

Product Description

The METALCRAFT 901026 is a 90-degree adjustable elbow fitting designed for sheet metal ductwork installations in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Fabricated from 26-gauge steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this fitting provides corrosion resistance suited for supply and return air distribution applications. At 10 inches in diameter, it accommodates standard round duct runs where direction changes are required. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators use this fitting when routing ductwork around structural obstructions or transitioning between duct runs in tight spaces. The adjustable design allows the installer to set the bend angle within the 90-degree range to match field conditions.

This elbow is used in forced-air heating and cooling systems where round duct transitions require a directional change. Typical applications include trunk-to-branch transitions, mechanical room duct routing, and residential attic or crawlspace ductwork layouts. The 10-inch size suits main trunk branches or larger zone supply runs. The 26-gauge steel construction meets standard requirements for low-pressure residential duct systems. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics working on new construction or duct replacement projects.

Key Features

• 90-degree adjustable elbow configuration for flexible field positioning
• 10-inch fitting size for larger duct branch and trunk applications
• 26-gauge steel construction for standard low-pressure ductwork
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion and moisture resistance
• Part of the 90 Series product line for consistent fitment with matching components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 10-inch round steel ductwork in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA ductwork installation standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system before connecting or modifying duct sections. Secure the fitting with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant to maintain system pressure and prevent air leakage. Do not use this fitting in applications requiring higher-gauge material or pressure ratings beyond standard low-pressure residential duct systems.
