Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this collar provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point where ductboard sections originate off a main duct. The 2-inch tab design secures the fitting firmly against the ductboard surface during installation. At 10 inches in size, it fits standard residential and light commercial ductwork configurations. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics work with this type of fitting during new construction and duct replacement projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collar start is used in ducted forced-air systems where ductboard is the primary branch distribution material. It is commonly installed at take-off points along sheet metal main trunks in residential and light commercial applications. The fitting seats against the ductboard and is secured using the integral 2-inch tab, creating a tight, low-leakage transition. Projects governed by ACCA and SMACNA standards commonly specify this type of collar start for compliant duct system fabrication and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned and unconditioned space installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch tab design for secure attachment to ductboard panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-inch size fits standard residential and light commercial ductwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a clean, low-leakage transition from sheet metal trunk to ductboard branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with 10-inch ductboard branch installations in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems fabricated and installed to ACCA and SMACNA standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics. Power down the air handling system and verify the unit is de-energized before working in the duct system. The collar start should be fitted and secured per SMACNA duct construction standards, with joints sealed using approved mastic or foil-backed tape as required by local mechanical code. Do not compress or distort the tab during installation, as proper tab contact is necessary for a secure, low-leakage fit against the ductboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTab Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\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: 84ST_2X10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283986481458,"sku":"84ST_2X10","price":15.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309278062.jpg?v=1781065134","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-84st_2x10-ductboard-collar-start-10-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
