Southwark Metal 114_8IN Oval Elbow 90 Degree 8 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 114_8IN is a 90-degree oval sheet metal elbow designed for horizontal duct transitions in forced-air HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel, this flat-style elbow is built for long-term corrosion resistance in both residential and light commercial duct installations. The oval profile supports both broadside and longside orientation, giving installers flexibility when routing ductwork through tight framing cavities or along ceiling joist runs. At 8 inches in diameter on both the inlet and outlet, it maintains consistent airflow cross-section through the turn. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers rely on this type of fitting to execute clean 90-degree direction changes without reducing system performance.

This elbow is suited for horizontal duct runs in residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where oval ductwork is specified. The flat Broadway and Longway oval configuration is commonly used in low-clearance spaces such as floor joist cavities, crawlspaces, and above-ceiling plenum areas where round duct cannot fit. It conforms to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for use in systems designed and installed to those specifications. Both the inlet and outlet diameter measure 8 inches, supporting a consistent duct size through the fitting.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• 90-degree angle for horizontal direction changes in duct systems
• Oval flat profile in both Broadway and Longway orientations for low-clearance installation flexibility
• 8-inch inlet and outlet diameter for consistent airflow cross-section
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fabrication and installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8-inch oval flat duct systems meeting ACCA and SMACNA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic. Shut down and lock out the air handling system before making any duct connections. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape per SMACNA guidelines. Avoid over-compressing the oval profile during fastening, as deformation can reduce effective airflow area.
