Southwark Metal 52_8X6X6 Flue Wye 8x6x6 in Galvanized

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 52_8X6X6 is a hot-dip galvanized sheet metal flue wye designed for branch connections in residential and commercial duct and flue piping systems. Sized at 8 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, this wye fitting allows a single main run to split into two outlets or accepts a branch line into a main trunk. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel, it meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for sheet metal duct construction. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers install this fitting in low-pressure air distribution and venting applications where a clean, durable branch transition is required.

This flue wye is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems, flue pipe assemblies, and ventilation trunk-and-branch layouts. The 8-inch main and dual 6-inch branch openings make it a practical choice for transitioning from a larger trunk line down to smaller branch runs in both new construction and retrofit installations. It is installed wherever ACCA and SMACNA sheet metal duct fabrication standards apply.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in duct and flue environments
• 8 x 6 x 6 inch configuration suits common trunk-to-branch transitions
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• Wye geometry allows lower-resistance airflow splitting compared to abrupt tee fittings
• Compatible with standard sheet metal duct assembly methods including drive and slip connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in residential and commercial low-pressure duct and flue piping systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal worker in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system and verify the duct section is depressurized before cutting into existing ductwork. Secure all joints with approved fasteners and seal with listed duct sealant or mastic per SMACNA guidelines. Do not use this fitting in high-temperature flue applications beyond the rated limits of standard galvanized sheet metal.
