Snappy t26-14 Uncrimped Starting C-collar 14 Inch

Product Description

The SNAPPY t26-14 is a 14-inch galvanized round uncrimped starting C-collar designed for use in sheet metal ductwork systems. This fitting connects a round branch duct to a main trunk or plenum, providing a secure starting point for duct runs. The uncrimped end allows the installer to size and crimp on site, offering flexibility during rough-in. Fabricated from galvanized steel, it resists corrosion in typical HVAC environments. At 0.80 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians install this collar as part of low-pressure residential and light commercial air distribution systems.

This C-collar is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where round duct branch connections are required. The 14-inch fitting size accommodates main supply or return trunk takeoffs at that diameter. It is a standard component in new construction and retrofit duct installations where galvanized round duct is the specified material.
