Southwark Metal 90-26GA_14IN Round Duct Elbow 26GA 14 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_14IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge. It is designed for use in HVAC ductwork systems where a right-angle change of direction is required in a round duct run. With a 14-inch diameter on both the inlet and outlet, this elbow maintains consistent airflow through the transition. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it suitable for code-compliant residential and commercial duct installations. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This elbow is used in forced-air heating and cooling systems where round duct is routed through tight spaces or structural constraints requiring a 90-degree turn. The 14-inch by 14-inch sizing is common in trunk-and-branch and radial duct system layouts serving larger air handlers or main distribution runs. Its galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room environments. Both residential and light commercial applications are typical for this fitting size and gauge.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for right-angle duct transitions in round duct systems
• 14-inch inlet and 14-inch outlet diameter for consistent airflow continuity
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or humid environments
• 26 gauge material thickness meets standard HVAC sheet metal fabrication requirements
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system design and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round duct fitting for use in 14-inch round duct systems installed per ACCA and SMACNA guidelines in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal contractor or qualified HVAC technician. The duct system should be de-energized and the air handler shut down before fitting installation or modification. Secure the elbow to adjacent duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape per SMACNA guidelines. Do not compress or deform the elbow during installation, as this will reduce airflow and may create turbulence in the duct run.
