Southwark Metal 16_24X12 Trunk Duct Elbow 90 Degree 24x12

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_24X12 is a 90-degree shortway rectangular trunk duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. Designed for vertical orientation, this fitting directs rectangular duct runs through a sharp 90-degree turn in the shortway direction, making it a standard component in sheet metal trunk duct systems. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical HVAC installation environments. With a face size of 24 inches by 12 inches on both the inlet and outlet, it maintains consistent duct cross-section through the turn. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers use this fitting when routing main trunk lines around structural obstacles or changing duct direction within a mechanical room or plenum space.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where rectangular trunk ductwork is the primary distribution method. The shortway geometry is used when vertical space is limited and the elbow must turn within the narrower dimension of the duct profile. It installs in new construction and retrofit applications alike, connecting directly to rectangular trunk sections of matching dimensions. Fabrication and installation should conform to SMACNA and ACCA standards as specified in the product data.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for perpendicular duct direction changes
• Shortway construction for installations with limited clearance in the duct depth direction
• Hot dip galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Consistent 24 x 12 inch face size on both inlet and outlet maintains duct cross-section
• Vertical rectangular profile compatible with standard sheet metal trunk duct systems
• Fabricated to SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems using 24 x 12 inch duct sections, installed per SMACNA and ACCA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified sheet metal mechanic or licensed HVAC technician. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL-listed duct sealant or metal foil tape per SMACNA guidelines. Verify duct orientation and airflow direction before fastening. Power down the air handling system before making connections to the trunk line.
