Southwark Metal 15_14X10 Trunk Duct Angle 14x10 in 45 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 15_14X10 is a 45-degree sheet metal trunk duct angle fitting designed for forced-air HVAC ductwork systems. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel, it provides a shortway, vertical turn with a radius throat geometry that reduces turbulence and static pressure loss at the bend. The fitting transitions from a 14 x 10 inch duct inlet to a matching 14 x 10 inch outlet, maintaining consistent duct dimensions through the angle. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers use this type of fitting when a duct run requires a direction change within tight spatial constraints while preserving airflow efficiency.

This trunk duct angle is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air distribution systems where shortway turns are required due to structural or spatial limitations. The radius throat design improves airflow compared to square-throat fittings, making it appropriate for main trunk lines carrying significant air volume. It is installed per ACCA and SMACNA standards, which govern duct construction, fitting geometry, and system performance for sheet metal ductwork assemblies.

Key Features

• 45-degree turn angle for direction changes in trunk duct runs
• Shortway, vertical orientation fits tight installation spaces
• Radius throat design reduces static pressure loss and turbulence at the bend
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned air applications
• Consistent 14 x 10 inch inlet and outlet dimensions maintain duct sizing through the fitting
• Conforms to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for 14 x 10 inch rectangular trunk duct systems constructed and installed in accordance with ACCA and SMACNA ductwork standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic following SMACNA duct construction guidelines and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handler and close the fuel or refrigerant supply before working on any connected duct section. Secure the fitting to adjacent duct sections using drive cleats, S-cleats, or sheet metal screws as required by the applicable duct class rating, and seal all joints with mastic or UL 181-listed tape to prevent air leakage.
