Southwark Metal 14_10X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 10x8 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 14_10X8 is a 90-degree flat trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular sheet metal ductwork systems in forced-air HVAC installations. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this Broadway-style elbow features a radius throat profile that supports smooth airflow transitions through the turn. It measures 10 inches x 8 inches at both the inlet and outlet, making it a same-size elbow with no reduction. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators use this fitting to route rectangular trunk duct runs through 90-degree direction changes without sacrificing airflow performance. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it suitable for installations requiring documented fitting quality.

This elbow is intended for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where rectangular trunk duct is the primary distribution method. The Broadway flat elbow configuration keeps the fitting within a low-profile vertical dimension, which is useful in tight ceiling or floor joist cavities. Both the inlet and outlet dimensions are 10 inches x 8 inches, so no transition fitting is required on either end. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers during new construction or duct retrofit work.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for standard trunk duct direction changes
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in unconditioned spaces
• Broadway flat profile keeps fitting height low for space-constrained installations
• Radius throat design promotes smoother airflow and reduced turbulence through the elbow
• Same-size inlet and outlet (10 x 8 inches) eliminates need for a separate transition
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems using 10 inches x 8 inches duct sections, conforming to ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or journeyman sheet metal worker. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct mastic or approved metal foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Ensure the duct system is depressurized and the air handler is powered down before cutting into or modifying an existing trunk line. Follow SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes for fastener spacing and support hanger requirements.
