Measuring 12 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches, this fitting routes conditioned air from a trunk line into two separate branch runs without the pressure drop or turbulence associated with sharp tee fittings. It is a standard component in forced-air HVAC distribution systems and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians during system layout, renovation, or branch extension work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wye branch is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where balanced airflow distribution is required. The symmetrical 8 inch by 8 inch branch outlets allow equal volumetric flow to two zones or diffusers served off a common 12 inch trunk. Installers use this fitting when adding or extending branch runs in sheet metal ductwork systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplits one duct run into two equal branches without compromising air velocity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 inches trunk inlet with dual 8 inch branch outlets for balanced flow distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWye geometry reduces turbulence compared to sharp tee branch fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard sheet metal construction compatible with typical forced-air duct systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal wye fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC ductwork systems with a 12 inch trunk and 8 inch branch connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before cutting into or modifying any existing ductwork. Secure the fitting with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL-listed duct sealant or approved foil tape to prevent air leakage. Support the fitting adequately to avoid stress on adjacent duct sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Outlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches x 8 inches x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wye Branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 781288A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345947394354,"sku":"781288A","price":50.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553072.webp?v=1782067183","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-781288a-wye-branch-duct-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
