Southwark Metal 16_28X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 28x8 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_28X8 is a 90-degree shortway rectangular trunk duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. It is designed for vertical orientation in sheet metal ductwork systems and is used to make direction changes in rectangular trunk ducts. The elbow measures 28 inches by 8 inches on both the inlet and outlet faces, making it a straight-size fitting with no transition. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers work with this fitting during new construction and retrofit duct system builds. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards is built into the design.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where rectangular trunk duct runs require a 90-degree turn. The shortway configuration keeps the elbow compact along the duct centerline, which is useful in confined ceiling, crawlspace, or mechanical room installations where turning radius is limited. It installs in a vertical plane and connects to standard 28 inch by 8 inch rectangular duct sections upstream and downstream.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for right-angle trunk duct direction changes
• Shortway design reduces required clearance along the duct centerline
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Uniform 28 inch by 8 inch inlet and outlet dimensions eliminate the need for transitional fittings
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication
• Vertical orientation ready for direct installation in trunk duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with standard rectangular trunk duct systems requiring a 28 inch by 8 inch shortway 90-degree elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic following SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and verify the system is depressurized before connecting or repositioning duct fittings. Secure all joints with appropriate sheet metal screws and seal with listed duct sealant or mastic per ACCA and local code requirements. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet metal edges.
