Southwark Metal 16_14X10 Trunk Duct Elbow 14x10 90 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_14X10 is a 90-degree sheet metal trunk duct elbow designed for rectangular HVAC ductwork systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting is built for durability in forced-air heating and cooling applications. The shortway, vertical configuration with a radius throat directs airflow through a 90-degree turn while minimizing pressure drop compared to square-throat designs. Both the inlet and outlet measure 14 inches x 10 inches, making this a same-size transition fitting. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, confirming it is suitable for professionally installed residential and light commercial duct systems.

This elbow is used in trunk duct systems where a 90-degree directional change is required in a vertical plane. The shortway orientation is selected when installation space is limited along the turn axis. Typical applications include main trunk runs in attic, basement, and crawlspace installations where the duct must change direction without a size reduction. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors specify this fitting for new construction and duct replacement work that follows SMACNA and ACCA Manual D layout guidelines.

Key Features

• 90-degree shortway elbow for compact directional changes in vertical duct runs
• Radius throat design reduces turbulence and static pressure loss at the turn
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Consistent 14 inches x 10 inches inlet and outlet — no size reduction through the fitting
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for residential and light commercial ductwork

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems requiring a 90-degree shortway vertical elbow at 14 inches x 10 inches duct size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and ACCA Manual D guidelines. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape to prevent air leakage. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm power is off at the disconnect before beginning any ductwork modification. Do not compress or deform the fitting during installation, as dimensional changes will affect airflow performance.
