Southwark Metal 15_16X10 Trunk Duct Angle 45 Degree 16x10

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 15_16X10 is a 45-degree shortway trunk duct angle fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. This fitting is used to create angled directional changes in rectangular sheet metal duct systems. The vertical, shortway orientation makes it suited for installations where space constraints require a tighter turning radius along the short dimension of the duct. At 16 inches by 10 inches on both the inlet and outlet, this angle fitting integrates directly into standard rectangular trunk duct assemblies. It is installed by sheet metal mechanics and HVAC technicians working on forced-air distribution systems.

This trunk duct angle is used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where a 45-degree directional change is required along the shortway axis. Its rectangular profile matches standard trunk duct sizing for straightforward integration into new construction and retrofit duct runs. The hot dip galvanized steel construction provides durability in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms. Fabrication and installation conform to ACCA and SMACNA standards, which govern duct construction and system performance in forced-air applications.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides a shortway directional change in rectangular trunk duct systems
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in demanding installation environments
• 16-inch by 10-inch inlet and outlet dimensions match on both ends for direct trunk duct integration
• Vertical, shortway, rectangular configuration for space-efficient routing
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in standard rectangular trunk duct systems sized at 16 inches by 10 inches, following ACCA and SMACNA duct construction guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal mechanics or HVAC technicians. Shut down the air handling unit and de-energize associated electrical components before beginning duct work. Secure all joints with approved fasteners and seal with mastic or UL-listed foil tape per SMACNA installation standards. Follow local mechanical codes and ACCA Manual D guidelines when integrating this fitting into the duct layout.
