Southwark Metal 90-24GA_12IN Sheet Metal Elbow 12 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-24GA_12IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 24 gauge thickness. It is used to change airflow direction in round duct systems and is a standard component in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork installations. With a 12-inch diameter on both the inlet and outlet, this elbow maintains consistent duct sizing through the bend. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics work with this fitting during new construction and retrofit duct runs where a 90-degree directional change is required.

This elbow is suited for round duct systems in forced-air heating and cooling applications. The 24-gauge hot dip galvanized construction meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for duct systems that must conform to those specifications. It is typically installed in trunk-and-branch or radial duct layouts where duct runs must navigate structural obstructions or change direction within a wall, ceiling, or mechanical room.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for full directional change in round duct runs
• 24-gauge hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 12-inch diameter inlet and outlet for consistent duct sizing through the bend
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• Round profile for use with standard round duct and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction fitting for 12-inch round duct systems meeting ACCA and SMACNA standards in residential and commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal mechanics or HVAC technicians. The system should be fully powered down and the air handling unit shut off before modifying or connecting ductwork. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic per SMACNA installation guidelines. Follow local mechanical codes for duct support spacing and sealing requirements.
