Southwark Metal 14_26X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 26x8 90 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 14_26X8 is a 90-degree flat Broadway rectangular sheet metal trunk duct elbow used in forced-air HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel, this elbow provides a corrosion-resistant, rigid 90-degree direction change in rectangular trunk duct runs. Sized at 26 inches by 8 inches on both the inlet and outlet, it maintains a consistent cross-section through the turn. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators use this fitting where trunk lines must change direction in tight mechanical rooms, attic runs, or basement duct layouts. The flat Broadway profile keeps the fitting low-profile along one axis, which is useful in installations with limited clearance.

This trunk duct elbow is intended for rectangular ducted HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. The Broadway-style flat elbow suits installations where vertical clearance is restricted but horizontal space is available. It is built to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for new construction duct systems and retrofit duct modifications that require code-compliant fittings. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers typically use this fitting during rough-in duct work before insulation and finishing.

Key Features

• 90-degree flat Broadway rectangular elbow for trunk duct direction changes
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Consistent 26-inch by 8-inch cross-section on both inlet and outlet
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system fittings
• Flat profile design suited for low-clearance installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems requiring a 90-degree flat Broadway elbow at a 26-inch by 8-inch duct size, conforming to ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic familiar with SMACNA duct construction standards. The air handling system must be powered down and the supply fan confirmed off before fitting installation. Connections to adjacent duct sections are typically secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with mastic or UL 181-rated tape per applicable mechanical codes. Use appropriate sheet metal gloves and tools when handling cut galvanized steel edges.
