The crimped end allows for a secure, tool-free slip fit into the flex duct inner liner, creating a tight mechanical connection that supports proper airflow and minimizes leakage at the junction point. Weighing 0.80 pounds, this collar fits a 16 inch by 6 inch configuration and is built from galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in typical duct environments. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers use this collar as a standard component in trunk-and-branch distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis starting collar is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light commercial applications where flexible duct branches off a central trunk or plenum. The 16 inch by 6 inch sizing accommodates a main trunk opening of 16 inches with a 6 inch branch takeoff, making it a common fitment in multi-zone duct layouts. It is intended for use with standard flexible duct and is installed at the point where the flex run originates from the rigid ductwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimped end provides a secure slip-fit connection into flexible duct inner liner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance for duct system longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 inch by 6 inch fitting size suits trunk-and-branch distribution layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.80 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM-style starting collar format compatible with standard flex duct installation practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit starting collar for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems using flexible duct at a 16 inch by 6 inch takeoff configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified duct installers. Power down the air handling system at the disconnect or breaker before working in the duct system. Secure the flex duct to the crimped collar with an approved clamp and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape per local mechanical codes. Do not use the collar in applications outside its rated fitting size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.80 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SNAPPY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: t27-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SNAPPY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233887945010,"sku":"T27-16","price":23.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630022.jpg?v=1780111273","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/snappy-t27-16-crimp-starting-collar-16x6-galvanized","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
