Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this collar provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point where a branch or trunk duct originates from the main air handler or plenum. The straight body pattern allows for a clean, direct takeoff without angular offset. At 30 inches by 8 inches, this piece is sized for larger residential or light commercial trunk duct configurations and is installed by sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians during new construction or system retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis starting collar is intended for trunk duct applications in forced-air heating and cooling systems where a main duct run begins at the air handling unit or furnace plenum. The 30-inch by 8-inch sizing suits medium-to-large duct layouts common in residential construction and light commercial builds. It is fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for installations governed by those design and fabrication guidelines. Sheet metal contractors use this collar as a transition fitting at the start of a rectangular trunk run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight body pattern for direct, no-offset trunk duct origination\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 inches by 8 inches sizing suited to larger trunk duct systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStarting collar type for use at the air handler or plenum connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal starting collar for rectangular trunk duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified sheet metal worker or licensed HVAC technician.
