Southwark Metal 58_9X6 Sheet Metal Pipe Reducer 9x6 Inch

Product Description

The Southwark Metal 58_9X6 is a 3-piece sheet metal pipe reducer designed for round duct transitions in forced-air HVAC systems. It steps down from a 9-inch diameter to a 6-inch diameter opening, allowing installers to connect differently sized duct sections without fabricating a custom fitting. Constructed from hot dip galvanized steel, it resists corrosion in both supply and return air applications. No crimp is supplied on this fitting, which suits specific duct connection methods used in residential and light commercial installations. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This reducer is intended for round duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air heating, cooling, and ventilation applications. It is installed at branch takeoffs, main trunk transitions, or wherever a duct run changes from 9-inch to 6-inch diameter. The fitting conforms to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for duct systems designed and installed under those guidelines. The 3-piece construction supports consistent fitment across standard round duct configurations.

Key Features

• Transitions round duct from 9-inch diameter down to 6-inch diameter
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 3-piece design for standard round duct fitment
• No crimp supplied, compatible with specific connection methods
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard round galvanized duct systems conforming to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors. Turn off the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before working on the duct assembly. Secure the reducer to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Avoid over-forcing the fitting during assembly, as deforming the galvanized steel can compromise the seal.
