Southwark Metal 90-26GA_5IN Round Duct Elbow 90 Deg 5 in 26 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_5IN is a round sheet metal duct elbow designed for use in low-pressure air distribution systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, it delivers a 90-degree directional change for 5-inch round ductwork. The galvanized finish resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room environments. Sheet metal installers and HVAC mechanics use this fitting during new construction and retrofit work where round spiral or snap-lock duct systems require a turn. Both inlet and outlet diameters measure 5 inches, making this a symmetrical elbow suited for straight-run transitions.

This elbow is a standard component in residential and light commercial HVAC trunk-and-branch and radial duct layouts. It is well suited for supply and return air distribution in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The 90-degree angle makes it appropriate for routing ductwork around framing members, beams, or other obstructions in tight mechanical spaces. Sheet metal contractors working to ACCA and SMACNA standards will find this fitting consistent with those installation specifications.

Key Features

• 90-degree bend angle for perpendicular duct direction changes
• 5-inch diameter on both inlet and outlet for symmetrical fitment
• 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion
• Round profile compatible with standard snap-lock and spiral round duct systems
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for 5-inch round duct systems installed to ACCA and SMACNA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians. Power down the air handling unit before making connections in an active duct system. Seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or approved foil tape per SMACNA duct construction standards. Secure the elbow to adjoining duct sections with sheet metal screws at appropriate intervals as required by the applicable mechanical code.
