This fitting transitions from a 6-inch by 12-inch rectangular opening to an 8-inch round collar, allowing installers to connect rectangular trunk lines or plenums to round flex duct or rigid round branch runs. Fabricated from 30-gauge steel, it provides the structural integrity needed for low-pressure residential and light commercial supply or return air applications. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers select this boot when a flush, straight-through transition is required without an offset or angled drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis straight boot is suited for residential forced-air systems where rectangular ductwork terminates at a ceiling, floor, or wall register location, or where a branch takeoff must connect to a round duct run. It fits naturally into new construction framing bays and retrofit installations where the duct path runs in a straight line from the trunk to the register opening. Installers working with standard residential air handlers, furnaces, or fan coil units will find this fitting compatible with common trunk-and-branch duct layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight boot design eliminates offset for direct, in-line duct transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransitions a 6-inch by 12-inch rectangular opening to an 8-inch round collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabricated from 30-gauge steel for rigid, durable construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard flex duct and rigid round duct connections at the 8-inch collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems requiring a rectangular-to-round straight boot transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics. Shut down and de-energize the air handling system before cutting into existing ductwork or securing the fitting. Seal all joints with listed duct mastic or UL 181-rated tape per local mechanical code requirements. Secure the round collar connection to flex or rigid round duct using approved clamps or drive cleats as the application requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectangular Opening\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches x 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound Collar Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 GA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoot Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SEAL-TITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3172B-061208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SEAL-TITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344624058674,"sku":"3172B-061208","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554596.jpg?v=1782038245","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seal-tite-3172b-061208-straight-boot-6x12-to-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
