Southwark Metal 14_12X10 Trunk Duct Elbow 12x10 90 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 14_12X10 is a 90-degree sheet metal trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular ductwork installations in forced-air HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting features a flat, Broadway-style profile with a radius throat to promote smooth airflow through the turn. The elbow transitions a 12 x 10 inch duct inlet to an identical 12 x 10 inch outlet, making it a straight-size elbow with no reduction. HVAC sheet metal installers and mechanical contractors use this fitting when routing rectangular trunk duct through confined spaces or when changing duct direction by 90 degrees.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air distribution systems where rectangular trunk duct is the primary supply or return pathway. The Broadway flat profile accommodates low-clearance ceiling and wall cavities where a standard square-throat elbow would not fit. The radius throat design reduces turbulence and static pressure loss at the turn, supporting system efficiency. Installation typically follows SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards, which govern fitting geometry, gauge requirements, and joint assembly for sheet metal ductwork.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for right-angle duct routing in rectangular trunk systems
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC environments
• Flat Broadway profile fits low-clearance installations where depth is limited
• Radius throat reduces static pressure loss and turbulence at the elbow
• Same-size inlet and outlet (12 x 10 inches) with no reduction or transition
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in rectangular trunk duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA construction standards. Compatible with 12 x 10 inch rectangular duct connections on both the inlet and outlet sides.

Installation Notes

Installation of sheet metal trunk duct fittings is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before cutting into or modifying existing ductwork. Joints should be sealed with mastic or UL-listed duct tape and fastened per SMACNA guidelines for the applicable duct pressure class. Do not deform the radius throat during handling, as distortion can increase static pressure loss at the fitting.
