Southwark Metal 90-26GA_16IN Round Duct Elbow 16 in 26 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_16IN is a round sheet metal duct elbow designed to redirect airflow at a 90-degree angle within low-pressure HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, it delivers durable corrosion resistance suited to both supply and return air applications. With a 16-inch diameter on both the inlet and outlet, this fitting is sized for large-diameter trunk line connections common in commercial and residential HVAC installations. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of fabricated ductwork assemblies compliant with ACCA and SMACNA standards.

This elbow is used in round duct systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. At 16 inches in diameter, it is appropriate for high-volume air distribution runs in larger residential systems, light commercial HVAC, and industrial ventilation. It fits into standard slip or drive connections depending on the adjoining duct section. Installers working to SMACNA duct construction standards will find this fitting consistent with round galvanized duct specifications for its gauge and diameter range.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for right-angle directional transitions in round duct systems
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA standards for this diameter range
• 16-inch inlet and 16-inch outlet diameter for symmetrical airflow routing
• Round profile integrates with standard round duct sections and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting compatible with standard 16-inch round galvanized duct systems installed per ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit before fitting or sealing any duct sections. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections using approved fasteners and seal all joints with UL 181-listed tape or mastic to prevent air leakage. Do not force connections or modify gauge thickness in the field.
