Southwark Metal 35_2IN Trunk Duct Reducer 2 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 35_2IN is a sheet metal trunk duct reducer fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. It is used to transition between different trunk duct sizes in forced-air HVAC distribution systems, reducing airflow cross-section to direct conditioned air efficiently through the duct network. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both supply and return air applications. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors during new construction or system modification work.

This reducer is designed for use with sheet metal trunk duct assemblies in residential and light commercial forced-air systems. It accommodates a 2-inch reduction in duct sizing, allowing installers to step down trunk duct dimensions as the duct run branches and airflow volume decreases. It is appropriate for use in supply-air trunk systems where proper sizing is critical to maintaining system static pressure and airflow balance per ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides durable corrosion resistance
• 2-inch reduction size for stepping down trunk duct cross-section
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• Designed for use with sheet metal trunk duct systems
• Supports proper airflow distribution and static pressure management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with standard sheet metal trunk duct systems in forced-air HVAC installations built to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor. Power down the air handling unit and ensure the system is de-energized before working on ductwork. Fittings should be sealed at all joints with approved duct sealant or metal tape per SMACNA installation guidelines. Follow local mechanical codes for duct support, clearances, and sealing requirements.
