Southwark Metal 14_10X10 Trunk Duct Elbow 10x10 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 14_10X10 is a 90-degree sheet metal trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular duct systems in forced-air HVAC installations. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel, this fitting features a flat, Broadway-style profile with a radius throat, which reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the turn. Inlet and outlet dimensions are both 10 inches x 10 inches, making it a straight-through-size transition. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers use this fitting when routing trunk lines around structural obstacles or making directional changes in low-velocity supply and return duct systems.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where rectangular trunk duct runs require a 90-degree directional change. The Broadway flat-elbow profile is commonly used in tight-clearance applications such as crawlspaces, furred-down ceiling chases, and mechanical room layouts where round-throat fittings will not fit. Both the inlet and outlet measure 10 inches x 10 inches, so no reducer is needed when replacing or extending an existing same-size trunk run. It meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, making it appropriate for systems designed and installed to those specifications.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for standard directional changes in rectangular trunk duct systems
• Flat Broadway profile with radius throat minimizes turbulence and pressure loss at the elbow
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in unconditioned spaces
• Consistent 10 inches x 10 inches inlet and outlet dimensions simplify installation with no reducer required
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for commercial and residential duct fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems sized at 10 inches x 10 inches, following ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic. Power down the air handler or furnace and verify the system is de-energized before working inside an active duct system. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct sealant or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Refer to SMACNA duct construction standards for support spacing and hanger requirements appropriate to the installation.
