Southwark Metal 116_8IN Oval Duct Elbow 90 Degree 8 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 116_8IN is a 90-degree oval sheet metal duct elbow designed for vertical, shortway installations in forced-air HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance and long service life in both residential and light commercial applications. The oval geometry and shortway configuration allow direction changes in tight spaces where a longway elbow will not fit. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers use this fitting when routing supply or return trunk lines through walls, ceilings, or mechanical chases.

This elbow is sized at 8 inches on both the inlet and outlet (Size A and Size B), making it a direct-fit component for 8-inch oval duct runs. It is suited for vertical transitions in low-rise residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC installations where duct layout requires a 90-degree change of direction along the shortway axis. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it appropriate for use in code-required duct designs and third-party-inspected mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 90-degree bend angle for square direction changes in duct routing
• Oval cross-section with shortway orientation for installations with limited clearance
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Consistent 8-inch diameter on both ends for straight-through sizing in the duct run
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fabrication and performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 8-inch oval sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling unit before connecting or sealing ductwork. Secure connections using sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic to maintain system static pressure. Do not compress or deform the oval profile during installation, as this will reduce airflow and increase system resistance.
