Southwark Metal 90-26GA_9IN Round Duct Elbow 90 Deg 26GA 9 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-26GA_9IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge. It is used in forced-air HVAC ductwork systems to redirect airflow at a 90-degree angle within round duct runs. Both the inlet and outlet diameters measure 9 inches, making this a symmetrical elbow suited for straight-diameter transitions. HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers install this fitting during new construction or duct retrofit projects. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in both residential and light commercial environments.

This elbow fits into round duct systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. Typical applications include supply and return air distribution in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The 9-inch diameter is common in trunk-to-branch transitions and main supply runs in residential and light commercial HVAC installations. The fitting meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for jobs requiring documented duct system compliance.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for standard directional duct changes
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA standards
• Symmetrical 9-inch inlet and outlet diameters
• Round profile compatible with standard round duct fittings and connectors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 9-inch round duct systems meeting ACCA and SMACNA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal workers. Power down the air handling unit before working on connected ductwork. Secure the elbow with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant per SMACNA installation guidelines. Avoid over-crimping the collar, as this can distort the round profile and reduce airflow performance.
