Southwark Metal 90-30GA_5IN Round Duct Elbow 90 Degree 5 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 90-30GA_5IN is a 90-degree round sheet metal duct elbow designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 30 gauge, this fitting redirects airflow at a right angle while maintaining a consistent 5-inch diameter from inlet to outlet. It is a standard component in forced-air distribution systems and is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers during new construction and retrofit ductwork projects. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for unconditioned or semi-conditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms.

This elbow is used in round duct systems where a 90-degree direction change is required. Typical applications include trunk-to-branch transitions, equipment connections, and layout routing around structural obstructions. It is sized at 5 inches in diameter on both the inlet and outlet, making it a symmetric fitting. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it appropriate for system designs that require documented fitting performance and installation conformance.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for right-angle airflow redirection in round duct systems
• 5-inch diameter on both ends for symmetric, straight-through sizing
• 30 gauge hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fitting performance
• Round profile compatible with standard round duct and fittings of the same diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 5-inch round duct systems conforming to 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. Shut down the air handling unit and de-energize the system before disconnecting or modifying ductwork. Secure the elbow to adjacent duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with listed duct sealant or UL 181-rated tape per applicable SMACNA and local mechanical code requirements. Avoid sharp bends or offsets in adjacent sections that could restrict airflow or increase system static pressure.
