Southwark Metal 16_10X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 10x8 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_10X8 is a 90-degree sheet metal trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular HVAC ductwork systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this shortway elbow features a vertical orientation with a radius throat, delivering a smooth directional change that reduces turbulence and pressure drop in the air stream. The shortway configuration is suited for installations where space is limited along the duct run. Sized at 10 inches by 8 inches on both the inlet and outlet, it maintains a consistent cross-section through the turn. Sheet metal fabricators, HVAC installers, and mechanical contractors work with this type of fitting on forced-air residential and light commercial systems.

This elbow is used in rectangular trunk duct systems requiring a 90-degree directional change in tight or constrained spaces. The shortway design keeps the elbow compact along the turning axis, making it a common choice in attic, crawlspace, basement, and mechanical room installations where clearance is restricted. It is appropriate for supply and return trunk duct applications in forced-air heating and cooling systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for square directional changes in rectangular duct systems
• Shortway, vertical orientation for use in space-restricted installations
• Radius throat design promotes smoother airflow and reduced pressure loss through the turn
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• Consistent 10 inch by 8 inch cross-section on both Size A and Size B ends
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC mechanics following SMACNA duct construction guidelines. Secure all duct connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Shut down and de-energize the air handling system before modifying any duct section. Do not substitute this shortway fitting in applications requiring a longway elbow, as the airflow geometry and pressure characteristics differ.
