Seal-tite 3172B-061006 Straight Boot 6x10 Inch 30 Gauge

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE 3172B-061006 is a 30-gauge steel straight boot designed for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. This fitting connects rectangular ductwork to round collar takeoffs, transitioning a 6-inch by 10-inch rectangular opening to a 6-inch round collar. The straight boot configuration allows for a direct, in-line connection between the trunk line and the supply or return branch run. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this type of fitting during new construction and renovation work where duct layout requires a clean rectangular-to-round transition.

This straight boot is suited for supply or return air branch connections in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The 6-inch by 10-inch face dimensions accommodate standard register and grille sizes commonly found in residential ceiling, wall, and floor installations. The 6-inch round collar connects directly to 6-inch round flex duct or rigid round branch duct, making it a standard component in residential duct system layouts.

Key Features

• 30-gauge steel construction for standard residential duct applications
• Straight boot configuration for direct in-line duct-to-register connections
• 6-inch by 10-inch rectangular face fits standard register and grille openings
• 6-inch round collar connects to flex duct or rigid round branch duct
• Rectangular-to-round transition eliminates need for additional adapters at the register end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems requiring a 6-inch by 10-inch rectangular face with a 6-inch round collar takeoff.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics. Power down the air handler and close the system before cutting into existing ductwork or making branch connections. Secure the boot to the trunk line and branch duct using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Do not leave duct joints unsealed, as air leakage reduces system efficiency and can affect equipment performance.
