Southwark Metal 15_22X8 Trunk Duct Angle 22x8 in 45 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 15_22X8 is a 45-degree shortway trunk duct angle fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. This rectangular fitting is used to change the direction of rectangular sheet metal ductwork in HVAC air distribution systems. The shortway orientation means the turn is made along the shorter dimension of the duct cross-section. At 22 inches by 8 inches, it fits standard trunk duct configurations common in residential and light commercial forced-air systems. HVAC sheet metal contractors and duct fabricators install this fitting as part of supply or return trunk assemblies.

This fitting is suited for rectangular trunk duct systems where a 45-degree directional change is required in a vertical, shortway configuration. It is built to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for both new construction and retrofit duct installations in residential and commercial HVAC applications. It is typically installed in tight spaces where a shortway turn minimizes the overall footprint of the ductwork layout.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for controlled directional change in trunk duct runs
• Shortway, vertical, rectangular configuration for space-efficient routing
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in air distribution environments
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• 22 inch by 8 inch frame size fits standard rectangular trunk duct profiles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems sized at 22 inches by 8 inches, conforming to ACCA and SMACNA ductwork standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal contractors. The fitting should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant per SMACNA guidelines. Power down the air handling unit before making any connections to the duct system. Follow local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards for proper support and joint sealing.
