Southwark Metal 16_30X8 Trunk Duct Elbow 30x8 in 90 Deg

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 16_30X8 is a 90-degree rectangular trunk duct elbow designed for sheet metal ductwork systems in commercial and residential HVAC applications. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this shortway elbow measures 30 inches by 8 inches on both the inlet and outlet faces. It is oriented vertically and uses a shortway turn geometry, which reduces the depth of the elbow footprint in tight mechanical spaces. Sheet metal installers and HVAC duct fabricators use this fitting where a main trunk duct must make a 90-degree directional change while keeping the overall duct profile compact.

This trunk duct elbow is suited for low-pressure forced-air HVAC distribution systems in residential and light commercial buildings. The rectangular profile integrates directly with standard rectangular trunk duct runs. The shortway configuration is commonly selected when ceiling clearance or structural constraints limit how far the elbow can extend in the turning direction. Installation typically occurs during rough-in ductwork on new construction or during trunk-line modifications on retrofit projects. The fitting meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct construction.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for right-angle trunk duct transitions
• Shortway rectangular geometry reduces elbow depth in constrained spaces
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical HVAC environments
• Matched inlet and outlet dimensions: 30 inches by 8 inches on both ends
• Vertical orientation for use in standard trunk duct configurations
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with rectangular trunk duct systems sized at 30 inches by 8 inches, following ACCA and SMACNA construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC technician. The air handling system must be fully powered down and the air handler or furnace shut off before any duct modifications are made. Connections to adjacent duct sections are typically secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with listed duct sealant or foil tape per applicable mechanical codes. Refer to SMACNA duct construction standards for joint reinforcement requirements based on system static pressure class.
