Southwark Metal 14_24X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 24x8 in 90 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 14_24X8 is a 90-degree flat Broadway sheet metal trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular HVAC ductwork installations. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this elbow transitions a 24 x 8 inch duct section through a 90-degree turn while maintaining consistent cross-section dimensions on both the inlet and outlet. The radius throat profile reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the turn, supporting efficient airflow through the trunk line. This fitting is suited for commercial and residential forced-air systems where ductwork must navigate right-angle turns along a flat plane. Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics working to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

The 14_24X8 is intended for use in rectangular trunk duct systems requiring a flat-plane 90-degree directional change without any change in duct size. The Broadway configuration and radius throat geometry make it appropriate for main trunk runs in low- to medium-velocity forced-air heating and cooling applications. Both the inlet and outlet measure 24 inches by 8 inches, making this a straight-size elbow with no transition. It is manufactured to meet ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, which govern sheet metal duct construction quality and dimensional accuracy across commercial and residential HVAC projects.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat Broadway configuration for right-angle trunk duct turns on a single plane
• Radius throat geometry reduces turbulence and pressure loss at the elbow
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• Same inlet and outlet dimensions (24 x 8 inches) eliminate the need for a separate transition fitting
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA standards for dimensional accuracy and construction quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems sized at 24 x 8 inches, conforming to ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic. Shut down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before modifying or connecting ductwork. Seal all joints with approved duct sealant or mastic and mechanically fasten per SMACNA guidelines to prevent air leakage. Support the fitting and connected duct sections per applicable local mechanical codes to prevent sagging or stress on joints.
