Snap-rite 8-201 Round Duct Takeoff 90 Degree Full Tab

Product Description

The SNAP-RITE 8-201 is a size 8 full tab round-to-round duct takeoff with a 90-degree configuration. It connects a round branch duct at a right angle off a round main trunk, making it a standard fitting in forced-air HVAC duct systems. The full tab design allows the fitting to be secured without additional fasteners at the connection point. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics during duct system fabrication or retrofit work.

The 8-201 is used in residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where a round branch run must be tapped off a round main at 90 degrees. Size 8 refers to the branch duct diameter, making it compatible with 8-inch round duct. It is a single-unit fitting sold individually and is well suited for new construction duct layout as well as branch run additions during system modifications.

Key Features

• Size 8 branch diameter for use with 8-inch round duct
• Full tab design for secure, tool-assisted attachment at the connection point
• 90-degree configuration routes the branch run perpendicular to the main trunk
• Round-to-round fitting eliminates the need for adapter transitions at the takeoff
• Single-unit selling format for individual branch tap installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for round duct systems requiring a size 8 full tab 90-degree takeoff.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before cutting into an existing trunk line. Secure the fitting tabs firmly against the main duct and seal all joints with UL 181-rated duct sealant or approved foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines for duct fabrication and support.
