Southwark Metal 20_14X10 Trunk Duct Collar 14x10 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 20_14X10 is a straight, rectangular sheet metal trunk duct collar designed for use as a starting collar on forced-air duct systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, it delivers corrosion resistance suited to the demands of both new construction and retrofit duct installations. Measuring 14 inches in length by 10 inches in width, this takeoff collar connects a main trunk duct to a branch run or serves as the origin point of a rectangular duct system. Licensed HVAC sheet metal contractors and duct installers are the primary tradespeople who handle and install this fitting.

This collar is used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications where rectangular duct trunk systems are specified. It is commonly installed at the start of a trunk duct run, transitioning from an air handler or furnace plenum to a rectangular duct distribution system. Its straight body pattern makes it appropriate for applications where no offset or angle is needed at the takeoff point. Installations following ACCA and SMACNA standards will find this collar compliant with those applicable guidelines.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides durable corrosion resistance for long-term duct system performance
• Straight body pattern suits applications requiring a clean, direct trunk connection with no offset
• Rectangular profile at 14 inches by 10 inches fits standard trunk duct sizing for residential and light commercial systems
• Designed as a starting collar to serve as the origin point of a rectangular duct run
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems requiring a straight starting collar at the 14 inch by 10 inch size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor familiar with SMACNA duct construction standards. Shut down and lock out the air handling equipment before fitting or connecting any duct components. Sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic should be used to secure and seal all joints per applicable local mechanical codes. Avoid over-driving fasteners into the galvanized material, as this can compromise the collar flange and the integrity of the duct seal.
