Southwark Metal 16_16X10 Trunk Duct Elbow 16x10 Shortway 90D

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_16X10 is a 90-degree shortway trunk duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. It transitions a 16 x 10 inch rectangular duct through a sharp directional change while maintaining the same cross-sectional size on both ends. The radius throat design reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the turn. This fitting is built to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it a code-appropriate choice for commercial and residential forced-air HVAC trunk duct systems. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this elbow in low-pressure supply and return air distribution runs where a tight-radius, shortway turn is required.

This elbow is suited for rectangular trunk duct systems in new construction and retrofit applications. The vertical orientation and shortway configuration make it the right choice where ceiling or wall clearance is limited and a longway elbow will not fit. Both inlet and outlet dimensions are 16 inches x 10 inches, so no reducing fittings are needed at either end. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial ductwork systems designed to SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for a full directional change in a rectangular duct run
• Shortway, vertical orientation for installations with limited clearance
• Radius throat design reduces turbulence and static pressure loss at the turn
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in HVAC duct environments
• Equal inlet and outlet size eliminates the need for additional reducing fittings
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit and relieve system pressure before cutting into or modifying an existing duct run. Seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape to meet leakage class requirements. Support the fitting independently per SMACNA hanger and support guidelines to avoid stress on adjacent duct sections.
