Southwark Metal 90-26GA_8IN Round Duct Elbow 90 Degree 8 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_8IN is a round sheet metal duct elbow designed for HVAC ductwork installations requiring a 90-degree directional change. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this elbow provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection in forced-air distribution systems. With both inlet and outlet diameters measuring 8 inches, it suits standard round duct runs in residential and light commercial applications. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this fitting to route supply or return air around structural obstacles while maintaining consistent airflow geometry. Construction meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for sheet metal ductwork.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems using round duct. Typical installations include supply trunk branches, return air pathways, and air handler connections where a 90-degree turn is required within an 8-inch diameter duct run. The galvanized steel construction makes it appropriate for unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms where moisture exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for standard directional changes in round duct systems
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or semi-exposed installations
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA ductwork fabrication standards
• 8-inch inlet and outlet diameters match standard round duct sizing
• Round profile maintains consistent airflow cross-section through the turn

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 8-inch round duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians in accordance with SMACNA ductwork installation standards. Power down the air handling unit and close the system disconnect before working on connected ductwork sections. Secure the elbow using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant to prevent air leakage. Avoid deforming the round profile during installation, as distortion reduces airflow efficiency and increases static pressure drop.
