Snappy 216-32 Galvanized 90 Short Stack Elbow 3.25x12 in

Product Description

The SNAPPY 216-32 is a galvanized steel shortway 90-degree stack elbow designed for rectangular sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial HVAC installations. This fitting makes a 90-degree turn in the short dimension of a 3.25-inch by 12-inch duct run, allowing direction changes where space is limited. The galvanized finish resists corrosion in typical forced-air applications. Sheet metal installers and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting when running supply or return ductwork through tight wall cavities, floor assemblies, or confined mechanical spaces.

This fitting is suited for new construction and retrofit duct systems using standard rectangular sheet metal duct. The shortway elbow configuration is the go-to choice when a turn must be made within the narrow profile of the duct, rather than the wide face. It fits into standard 3.25-inch by 12-inch duct assemblies common in residential forced-air supply runs, particularly those routed through 2x4 wall cavities or low-clearance floor joist bays.

Key Features

• 90-degree shortway elbow for direction changes in the narrow dimension of the duct
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in standard forced-air environments
• Sized for 3.25-inch by 12-inch rectangular duct — a common residential supply duct dimension
• Compact shortway geometry for installs with limited turning radius
• Lightweight at 0.50 pounds for easy one-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting for standard 3.25-inch by 12-inch galvanized rectangular sheet metal duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians following applicable mechanical codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards. Secure all duct connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape per local code requirements. Always de-energize the air handler or furnace before working on the duct system. Avoid over-crimping the fitting collar, which can distort the seating surface and cause air leakage at the joint.
