Southwark Metal 901626 90 Degree Adjustable Elbow 16 Inches 26 Gauge Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The Southwark Metal 901626 is a 16-inch, 90-degree adjustable elbow built for round duct systems in residential and commercial HVAC installations. Fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized steel meeting ASTM A653 CS Type B standards, this elbow delivers long-term corrosion resistance in demanding ductwork environments. At 26 gauge, it provides a solid balance of rigidity and workability that HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics rely on for trunk and branch duct runs. The 4-piece assembly design covers sizes from 3 inches through 20 inches, making it a versatile fitting for a wide range of round duct diameters on a single job site. The crimped male connection end slides into adjacent duct sections with ease, while the straight female connection accepts the next fitting without modification. A 1/2-inch overlap allowance is built in for riveting using standard 1/8-inch rivets, creating a secure, airtight mechanical joint. The 1-inch crimp length ensures a consistent, leak-resistant connection that meets typical residential and light commercial ductwork assembly requirements. Galvanized steel construction means this elbow resists rust even in humid or high-moisture environments such as crawl spaces, attics, and mechanical rooms. HVAC technicians and duct fabricators working on forced-air heating and cooling systems will find this fitting compatible with standard round duct, flex duct transitions, and take-offs. It is manufactured in the USA and sold by the each. Weighing approximately 5.7 pounds and dimensioned at roughly 20.5 inches in length, 19.5 inches in height, and 16 inches in width, it ships efficiently and stores compactly on the job site. This elbow is a reliable choice for new construction ductwork, HVAC system retrofits, and duct repair projects.
