Built from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point in forced-air HVAC distribution systems. The integrated tab secures the fitting to fiberglass ductboard panels without the need for additional fasteners at the takeoff point. With an 8-inch diameter outlet, it suits a wide range of residential and light commercial supply branch runs. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators are the primary tradespeople who work with this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis takeoff is used in forced-air heating and cooling systems where fiberglass ductboard is the primary trunk and plenum material. The adjustable square-to-round design allows the installer to size the fitting to the ductboard opening during fabrication, accommodating varying trunk widths. It is well suited for new construction and retrofit applications where a clean, low-leakage branch connection from a flat ductboard surface to an 8-inch round branch duct is required. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes this fitting appropriate for installations governed by those specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable square-to-round profile accommodates varying ductboard trunk dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated tab for positive attachment directly to fiberglass ductboard panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch diameter outlet for standard round branch duct connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style fitting for fiberglass ductboard HVAC distribution systems requiring a square-to-round branch takeoff at an 8-inch diameter outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal installer. The air handling unit or furnace should be shut down and the system de-energized before cutting into any ductboard surface or installing branch takeoffs. Use appropriate ductboard knives and cutting tools to size the plenum opening to match the fitting footprint. Seal all joints with UL 181B-rated tape or mastic per SMACNA and local mechanical code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adjustable Square to Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tab\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63AFG_8IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283953189170,"sku":"63AFG_8IN","price":36.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277456.jpg?v=1781064064","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-63afg_8in-ductboard-takeoff-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
