Southwark Metal 27R_6X12X7 Sheet Metal Pipe Boot 6x12x7

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 27R_6X12X7 is a straight register-style sheet metal pipe boot designed to transition between rectangular ductwork and round pipe in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this boot provides corrosion resistance suited to the demands of forced-air distribution. The rectangular opening measures 6 inches by 12 inches and connects to a 7-inch diameter round collar. HVAC sheet metal contractors and duct installers use this fitting when terminating supply or return trunk lines at floor, wall, or ceiling register openings. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct construction.

This pipe boot is used in forced-air heating and cooling duct systems where a rectangular register opening must connect to a round branch or trunk duct. Typical installations include floor boots in platform framing, sidewall register transitions, and ceiling drops. The straight configuration positions the round collar directly above the rectangular face, making it suitable for vertical runs where the duct drops straight down into a floor register box or rises into a ceiling plenum. Installers working on new construction, renovation, or duct replacement projects will find this fitting compatible with standard register openings of the same nominal dimensions.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned-air applications
• Rectangular face measures 6 inches by 12 inches to match standard register openings
• 7-inch diameter round collar for connection to round branch duct
• Straight boot configuration for direct vertical or in-line duct transitions
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for forced-air HVAC duct systems requiring a straight register boot with a 6-inch by 12-inch rectangular face and a 7-inch round collar, built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal pipe boots of this type are installed by licensed HVAC contractors or qualified sheet metal workers in accordance with SMACNA duct construction guidelines and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system and relieve any system pressure before modifying or connecting ductwork. Secure the boot to surrounding framing and duct sections using appropriate sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape to prevent air leakage. Do not use this fitting in applications outside its rated duct class or in corrosive environments without additional protective coating.
