Metalcraft 901226 Adjustable Elbow 90 Degree 12 Inch 26 Gauge

Product Description

The METALCRAFT 901226 is a 90-degree adjustable elbow fitting used in sheet metal ductwork systems for residential and light commercial HVAC installations. Fabricated from 26-gauge steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this 12-inch fitting provides corrosion resistance and structural rigidity in forced-air supply and return air applications. The adjustable design allows the installer to set the elbow angle for directional changes in duct runs, reducing the need for additional fittings. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting when routing ductwork around framing, beams, or other obstructions in the building envelope.

This elbow is suited for rectangular or round duct transition work in residential new construction, remodel, and replacement projects, as well as light commercial forced-air systems. The 12-inch sizing fits standard trunk-line and branch duct applications where a full 90-degree directional change is required. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms where moisture exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• 90-degree adjustable elbow for directional changes in duct runs
• 12-inch fitting size for trunk-line and branch duct applications
• 26-gauge steel construction provides rigidity with manageable weight
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in humid or unconditioned spaces
• Part of the 90 Series for consistent fitment with compatible fittings in the same line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal duct fitting for 12-inch rectangular or round duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors following SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before modifying any section of the duct system. Secure the fitting using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL-listed foil tape or duct mastic to meet energy code requirements. Handle cut edges with care, as 26-gauge galvanized steel edges can cause lacerations during fitting and fastening.
