Snappy p5-648 Straight Register Boot 8 in Round 6x14

Product Description

The SNAPPY p5-648 is a galvanized steel straight register boot designed to transition from an 8-inch round duct collar to a 6-inch by 14-inch rectangular register opening. This fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems, connecting branch ductwork to floor, wall, or ceiling registers. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this boot to terminate supply runs at the register face. The galvanized steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance in typical ducted air distribution environments.

This straight register boot is suited for new construction and retrofit supply duct installations where an 8-inch round branch connects to a 6-inch by 14-inch register or grille. It is commonly installed at floor or ceiling terminations in residential forced-air heating and cooling systems. The straight configuration keeps the transition direct, reducing turbulence at the supply outlet and simplifying rough-in where clearance allows a straight drop or horizontal run to the register face.

Key Features

• Straight-style boot transitions 8-inch round duct to a 6-inch by 14-inch rectangular register opening
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in ducted HVAC applications
• Standard fitting geometry compatible with common residential register and grille sizes
• Lightweight at 0.80 pounds, simplifying handling during overhead or floor installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems terminating at a 6-inch by 14-inch supply register or grille with an 8-inch round collar connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors following applicable mechanical codes such as the IMC or SMACNA duct construction standards. Turn off the air handler or furnace and ensure the system is de-energized before cutting into existing ductwork or securing the boot to a branch run. Secure the boot collar to the round duct using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated duct mastic or approved foil tape. Do not restrict the register opening with oversized framing or insulation that reduces rated airflow.
