Southwark Metal 15_14X8 Trunk Duct Angle 14x8 in 45 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 15_14X8 is a 45-degree sheet metal trunk duct angle fitting used in forced-air HVAC duct systems. Built from hot dip galvanized steel, this shortway angle fitting handles a direction change while maintaining a 14-inch by 8-inch rectangular cross-section on both the inlet and outlet. The radius throat design reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the turn. This type of fitting is installed by sheet metal contractors and HVAC technicians during new construction or duct system modification work. It is fabricated to meet ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct construction and airflow performance.

This fitting is suited for low- to medium-pressure rectangular trunk duct systems in residential and light commercial applications. The shortway orientation means the turn is made across the shorter dimension of the duct, which is typical when vertical routing space is limited. Both the inlet and outlet sizes are 14 inches by 8 inches, making this a straight-size angle with no transition. It is installed vertically and is appropriate for supply or return trunk lines routed through framed wall or floor cavities where a 45-degree turn is required.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for duct direction changes with reduced airflow disruption
• Shortway, vertical orientation suited for space-constrained installations
• Radius throat design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop at the turn
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in typical duct environments
• Consistent 14-inch by 8-inch cross-section on both inlet and outlet — no transition required
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct system performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems using 14-inch by 8-inch duct sections where a 45-degree shortway vertical turn is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified sheet metal contractor or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system and relieve any system pressure before cutting into or modifying existing ductwork. Secure the fitting with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated duct sealant or mastic per applicable code. Do not use this fitting as a substitute for a different angle or duct size without verifying system design requirements.
