Southwark Metal 1046212 Elbow Broadway 2.25x12

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1046212 is a Broadway-pattern sheet metal duct elbow sized at 2.25 inches by 12 inches. This fitting is used to change airflow direction within low-profile duct systems, routing conditioned air through tight spaces where standard round or rectangular duct would not fit. The Broadway profile is a recognized form factor in residential HVAC ductwork, particularly in applications requiring a shallow throat depth. HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers use this elbow when fabricating or extending supply-air trunk lines and branch runs.

This elbow is suited for residential forced-air systems where space constraints demand a flat, low-profile duct configuration. It is commonly installed in floor-joist cavities, under-floor plenums, and other confined spaces typical of residential construction. The 2.25-inch by 12-inch face dimensions make it a standard size for single-story and multi-story homes with perimeter supply layouts. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC installers incorporate this fitting into new-construction and retrofit duct systems alike.

Key Features

• Broadway elbow profile designed for low-profile duct routing in confined spaces
• 2.25 inch by 12 inch face dimensions for standard residential duct applications
• Sheet metal construction for durable, rigid airflow direction change
• Compatible with Broadway-style trunk and branch duct assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Broadway-pattern residential sheet metal duct systems requiring a 2.25 inch by 12 inch elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor. Turn off the air handling unit and secure the system before modifying any duct section. Seal all joints with UL 181-rated tape or mastic sealant per local mechanical code requirements. Secure the fitting to adjacent duct sections with sheet metal screws at appropriate intervals per SMACNA guidelines.
