Southwark Metal 90-26GA_6IN Round Duct Elbow 90 Deg 6 in 26 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_6IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge material thickness. It is designed for use in low-pressure forced-air duct systems where a 90-degree directional change is required in round ductwork. Both the inlet and outlet diameters measure 6 inches, making this a straight-through elbow with no transition. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this type of fitting during duct fabrication and retrofit work on residential and light commercial HVAC systems.

This elbow is suited for round duct runs in residential heating and cooling systems, as well as light commercial forced-air applications. The 26-gauge galvanized steel construction meets common field expectations for trunk-and-branch and radial duct layouts. It is typically installed in supply or return air duct systems where a 90-degree turn is needed within a confined space, attic, crawlspace, or mechanical room. Fabrication and installation practices should follow SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards as applicable to the job scope.

Key Features

• 90-degree bend angle for directional changes in round duct runs
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC environments
• 26-gauge material thickness consistent with residential and light commercial duct standards
• Uniform 6-inch diameter on both ends — no transition required
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 6-inch round duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor. The HVAC system must be powered down and the air handler shut off before modifying any duct section. Secure the elbow to adjacent duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA installation guidelines. Do not use standard cloth duct tape as a primary sealant.
