Southwark Metal 90-26GA_12IN Round Duct Elbow 12 in 26 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_12IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge. It carries a 12-inch diameter on both the inlet and outlet, making it a symmetrical fitting suited for straight-run direction changes in low-pressure forced-air duct systems. HVAC installers use this fitting where a duct run must turn 90 degrees without reducing airflow cross-section. The hot-dip galvanization process provides corrosion resistance appropriate for both conditioned-space and semi-exposed installations. Meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for sheet metal ductwork fabrication and installation.

This elbow is intended for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems using round spiral or snap-lock pipe. It fits into supply or return trunk-to-branch transitions and main-run direction changes where a 12-inch round duct is specified. Licensed sheet metal mechanics and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of new construction or retrofit duct systems built to SMACNA duct construction standards.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for right-angle duct direction changes
• 12-inch inlet and outlet diameter — no reduction in duct cross-section
• 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal ductwork
• Round profile compatible with standard round duct pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with 12-inch round duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal mechanic or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape to maintain system air tightness. Support the fitting per SMACNA hanger spacing requirements — do not allow the fitting to carry unsupported duct weight. Power down and lock out the air handling unit before working on any connected duct section.
