Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this collar connects directly to a rectangular trunk duct to initiate a branch or transition point within the duct run. The straight body pattern allows for a clean, in-line takeoff configuration. HVAC sheet metal workers and mechanical contractors install this fitting during new construction and system retrofit work where a durable, corrosion-resistant starting collar is required at an 8 inch by 8 inch duct opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collar is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where a trunk duct requires a starting connection point. The 8 inch by 8 inch size fits standard rectangular trunk openings of that dimension. It is fabricated to meet ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for systems designed and installed under those industry guidelines. Sheet metal mechanics typically incorporate this fitting during duct fabrication or when extending an existing trunk line.\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 and unconditioned spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight body pattern for in-line trunk duct starting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 inch by 8 inch opening size fits standard rectangular trunk duct dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStarting collar type for initiating branch or transition points at the trunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in rectangular trunk duct systems requiring an 8 inch by 8 inch straight starting collar connection, fabricated in accordance with ACCA and SMACNA standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC mechanical contractors. The duct system should be fully de-energized and the air handler or furnace powered down before any duct modification or fitting installation. Sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic should be used to secure and seal the collar per SMACNA installation guidelines. Follow local mechanical codes for duct support spacing and sealing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20_8X8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284072071474,"sku":"20_8X8","price":19.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277175.jpg?v=1781067821","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-20_8x8-trunk-duct-collar-8x8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
