Southwark Metal 27R_6X12X8 Sheet Metal Pipe Boot Straight

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 27R_6X12X8 is a straight sheet metal pipe boot designed to transition from round duct to a rectangular register opening in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Constructed from hot dip galvanized steel, this boot provides durable, corrosion-resistant performance in supply or return air applications. The boot measures 6 inches by 12 inches at the register face (Size A) and accepts an 8-inch diameter round duct connection (Size B). Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as part of duct distribution systems to deliver conditioned air to floor, wall, or ceiling register locations.

This pipe boot is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC installations where a straight transition from round pipe to a standard 6-inch by 12-inch register opening is required. It is commonly installed at the end of a branch duct run, connecting the round trunk or branch duct to a floor or ceiling register. The straight configuration is appropriate where the duct approaches the register face perpendicularly without requiring an offset or angular transition. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, it integrates cleanly with standard duct layouts.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Straight boot configuration for direct perpendicular duct-to-register transitions
• 6 inch by 12 inch register face (Size A) fits standard register and grille openings
• 8 inch diameter round collar (Size B) accepts standard round branch duct
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct system compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 6-inch by 12-inch floor or ceiling registers and 8-inch round branch duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling system before making duct connections. Secure the round collar to the branch duct using sheet metal screws and foil-backed UL 181 tape or mastic sealant to maintain system airtightness. Ensure the register face is flush with the finished floor, wall, or ceiling surface before fastening the register or grille.
