Southwark Metal ATDRP448 Air-tite Round Pipe Saddle Takeoff with Damper 8 Inches

Product Description

The Southwark Metal ATDRP448 is an Air-Tite round pipe saddle takeoff with a built-in damper, sized for 8-inch round duct applications. This fitting is designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems where controlled airflow distribution is essential. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use saddle takeoffs to branch air from a main trunk line into individual supply runs. The ATDRP448 makes that connection while also giving the technician damper control directly at the takeoff point, eliminating the need for a separate inline damper in many installations. The damper allows the installer or building occupant to adjust or shut off airflow to a specific zone or room without modifying the duct system. This is a practical feature for balancing multi-room systems and for seasonal shutoff of unused spaces. The Air-Tite designation indicates a tighter fit and better sealing performance compared to standard saddle fittings, which reduces conditioned air loss at the connection point and supports better overall system efficiency. Constructed from galvanized sheet metal, this fitting is built for long-term durability in both supply and return applications. At 8 inches, it is compatible with standard 8-inch round flex duct or rigid round pipe commonly found in residential forced-air systems. The overall footprint of the fitting measures 11 inches in length by 11 inches in width, with a height of 6.875 inches, and the unit weighs 1.45 pounds. HVAC technicians working on trunk-and-branch duct layouts will find this fitting straightforward to install and well-suited for new construction and retrofit projects alike. It is a reliable choice for balancing airflow, improving comfort, and maintaining system efficiency in forced-air HVAC installations.
