Southwark Metal 63afg8 Fiberglass Adjustable Takeoff 8 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 63afg8 is an 8-inch fiberglass adjustable takeoff with tabs, designed for use in residential and light commercial duct distribution systems. This fitting connects branch supply ducts to a main trunk line, allowing airflow to be directed to individual zones or rooms. The fiberglass construction resists moisture and corrosion, making it well suited for installations where metal fittings may be prone to condensation or rust. HVAC technicians use this type of fitting during new installations and system retrofits to create reliable, low-leakage branch connections off the main supply trunk.

This adjustable takeoff is intended for duct systems that require flexible branch positioning off a rectangular or round main trunk. The integral tabs simplify attachment and help secure the fitting during installation, reducing the need for additional fasteners. It is commonly used in forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential construction and light commercial applications where fiberglass ductwork or hybrid duct assemblies are specified.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 8-inch branch duct connections in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems using fiberglass or compatible duct assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Shut down the air handler and confirm the system is depressurized before cutting into the main trunk line. Secure the takeoff tabs firmly to the trunk using appropriate fasteners and seal all joints with listed duct sealant or mastic to meet leakage requirements. Avoid over-compressing the fiberglass collar during attachment, as this can restrict airflow.
