Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting transitions a 16 inch x 8 inch duct inlet to a matching 16 inch x 8 inch outlet using a shortway, vertical, radius throat configuration. The radius throat design reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the elbow. This fitting is built to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for residential and light commercial forced-air distribution systems. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this fitting where a low-profile 90-degree direction change is required within a trunk duct run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow fits into rectangular trunk duct systems where vertical shortway turns are needed, typically in tight ceiling or floor plenum spaces where a longway elbow will not fit. The shortway geometry allows installation in constrained areas while maintaining the duct cross-section. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it suitable for permitted HVAC installations in residential and light commercial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree angle for right-angle direction changes in rectangular duct runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShortway vertical configuration for use in space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRadius throat reduces airflow turbulence and static pressure loss at the elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned air applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA standards for commercial and residential duct fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains consistent 16 inch x 8 inch cross-section from inlet to outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular trunk duct systems with a 16 inch x 8 inch duct size, conforming to ACCA and SMACNA ductwork fabrication standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians. The duct system should be de-energized and the air handler shut down before making any modifications to the duct run. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed duct mastic or foil tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines. Verify that the shortway orientation matches the as-built duct layout before fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shortway, Vertical, Radius Throat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize A (Inlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize B (Outlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16_16X8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284035666226,"sku":"16_16X8","price":49.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277334.jpg?v=1781066781","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-16_16x8-trunk-duct-elbow-16x8-shortway-90","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
