Southwark Metal ATDRP_6IN Duct Takeoff 6 Inch Round

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL ATDRP_6IN is a 6-inch diameter round saddle duct takeoff with an integrated damper, fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel. This fitting is designed for branch connections off a main duct trunk, allowing precise airflow routing in forced-air HVAC distribution systems. The Air-Tite saddle-style design seats firmly against the trunk duct to minimize air leakage at the takeoff point. The built-in damper gives the installer direct control over airflow volume to the branch run without requiring a separate balancing component. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

This takeoff is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where a 6-inch round branch run is required off a rectangular or round main trunk. It is commonly installed during new construction ductwork fabrication or retrofit branch additions. The saddle configuration allows it to be mounted on the top or side of an existing trunk section with a cut opening, making it a practical choice for both new work and service upgrades. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it appropriate for installations requiring documented duct construction practices.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter round outlet matches standard 6-inch flexible and rigid branch duct
• Integrated damper allows airflow balancing without a separate damper fitting
• Air-Tite saddle design reduces leakage at the trunk connection point
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room environments
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation saddle takeoff fitting for 6-inch round branch connections in residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal contractor. The air handling system must be powered down and the supply fan de-energized before cutting into the trunk duct or fastening the saddle fitting. Secure the saddle to the trunk duct with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic per local mechanical code requirements. Set the integrated damper position during system commissioning and airflow balancing.
