Southwark Metal 16_30X10 Trunk Duct Elbow 30x10 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_30X10 is a 90-degree shortway rectangular trunk duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. It is designed for vertical direction changes in sheet metal ductwork systems, making it a standard component in residential and light commercial HVAC air distribution layouts. The 30 x 10 inch face dimensions accommodate high-volume trunk lines where maintaining airflow path integrity through a tight-radius turn is required. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators are the primary trades working with this fitting.

This elbow fits into rectangular trunk duct systems where a shortway 90-degree turn is needed in a vertical plane. The shortway configuration reduces the depth of the turn relative to the duct width, making it well suited for installations with limited plenum or ceiling cavity clearance. Both the inlet and outlet dimensions are 30 inches by 10 inches, making it a straight-size fitting with no transition. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, which are the governing guidelines for residential and commercial duct construction.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle provides a full right-angle direction change in the duct run
• Shortway geometry minimizes the space required to execute the turn
• Rectangular profile matches standard trunk duct cross-sections
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system construction
• Consistent 30 x 10 inch dimensions on both ends eliminate the need for transitional fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems requiring a vertical shortway 90-degree elbow with 30 x 10 inch duct dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal contractors or HVAC technicians in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. The duct system should be de-energized and the air handler or furnace shut down before connecting or modifying trunk fittings. Secure all connections with the appropriate fasteners and seal joints with UL-listed duct sealant or mastic per ACCA and SMACNA guidelines. Do not modify the fitting dimensions in the field without verifying that airflow calculations account for the change.
