Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, it transitions airflow from a 9-inch diameter main duct to an 8-inch diameter branch run. The adjustable full-tab design locks securely into the trunk or collar opening without additional fasteners, reducing installation time. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and installers use this fitting during new construction and retrofit ductwork projects where round branch takeoffs are required. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis takeoff fitting is used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where round ductwork branch connections are required off a main trunk or plenum. It is suited for supply and return air applications in attic, basement, crawlspace, and mechanical room installations. The adjustable tab design accommodates standard round duct collars and integrates with conventional sheet metal trunk systems assembled to SMACNA duct construction standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound-to-round configuration transitions a 9-inch main to an 8-inch branch duct run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-tab design locks fitting into duct opening securely without separate fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable design accommodates standard sheet metal collar openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial round sheet metal duct systems requiring a 9-inch to 8-inch round branch takeoff connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC sheet metal mechanic or licensed HVAC contractor. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is depressurized before cutting into existing ductwork. Secure the takeoff tabs fully to the trunk duct and seal all joints with listed duct sealant or UL 181-rated foil tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines. Do not exceed the pressure class rating of the surrounding duct system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize A (Main)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize B (Branch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Tab, Adjustable, Round to Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: EP15_9X8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284058734898,"sku":"EP15_9X8","price":22.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277078.jpg?v=1781067426","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-ep15_9x8-duct-takeoff-9x8-round","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
