Southwark Metal 27R_6X14X8 Sheet Metal Pipe Boot 6x14x8

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 27R_6X14X8 is a straight sheet metal pipe boot designed to transition from round duct to a rectangular floor or wall register opening. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this boot provides corrosion resistance suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. The unit measures 6 inches by 14 inches at the register face (Size A) and connects to an 8 inch diameter round duct collar (Size B). It is installed by sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians as part of a supply air distribution system, serving as the final transition fitting before the register or grille is seated.

This pipe boot is suited for register-style supply air outlets in residential forced-air heating and cooling systems. It fits floor, ceiling, or sidewall applications where a round branch duct feeds a standard rectangular register opening. The straight configuration means the round collar exits perpendicular to the register face, making it a common choice for floor boot installations in wood-framed construction where joist bays direct the duct run straight up to the floor surface.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air environments
• Straight configuration connects 8 inch round duct collar directly to a 6 inch by 14 inch register opening
• Register-type boot designed to seat standard 6 inch by 14 inch grilles or registers flush at the finished surface
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication
• Suitable for residential and light commercial forced-air supply duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting compatible with standard 6 inch by 14 inch rectangular register openings and 8 inch diameter round supply duct branch connections in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal workers. The system should be powered down and the air handler shut off before fitting or sealing ductwork. Joints should be mechanically fastened and sealed with duct mastic or listed foil tape per SMACNA guidelines and applicable local mechanical codes. Do not use standard cloth-backed tape as a primary duct seal.
