Southwark Metal 90-26GA_3IN Round Duct Elbow 26GA 3 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_3IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge. It is designed for use in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where a 90-degree direction change is required on a round duct run. With a 3-inch diameter on both the inlet and outlet, this elbow maintains consistent airflow transition through the bend. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as part of supply or return duct assemblies in forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This elbow fits 3-inch round duct and is suited for residential forced-air systems, ventilation runs, and light commercial HVAC applications. It conforms to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for duct systems designed and installed under those widely adopted industry guidelines. Typical applications include branch takeoffs, equipment connections, and in-line direction changes within sheet metal duct systems.

Key Features

• 90-degree bend angle for standard right-angle duct direction changes
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC environments
• 26-gauge material thickness provides structural rigidity for low-pressure duct applications
• 3-inch diameter inlet and outlet for consistent round duct sizing throughout the run
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fabrication and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for 3-inch round sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors. Power down the air handling unit and close any associated dampers before modifying an active duct run. Secure connections with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant per SMACNA installation standards. Follow local mechanical codes for support spacing and joint requirements.
