The body is fabricated from 30-gauge ASTM A653 CS Type B G40 hot-dip galvanized steel, with a heavier 28-gauge collar for added rigidity at the connection point. The flat-back design seats flush against framing or subfloor assemblies, making it well-suited for floor and wall register installations. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting as part of residential and light commercial duct distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis boot transitions a 4-inch by 14-inch rectangular opening on the A-side to an 8-inch round collar on the B-side. The straight configuration is typical for floor-mount register applications where the duct rises vertically from a horizontal trunk or branch run. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for unconditioned spaces such as crawlspaces, basements, and attic framing bays. Fabrication conforms to ACCA, SMACNA, and NATE applicable standards, making it compatible with properly engineered residential duct systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-gauge galvanized steel body with 28-gauge collar for reinforced connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eASTM A653 CS Type B G40 hot-dip galvanized steel for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight, rectangular-to-round geometry transitions 4 x 14 inch duct to 8-inch round collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat-back construction for flush seating against framing members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFabricated to ACCA, SMACNA, and NATE applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems requiring a straight rectangular-to-round register boot transition at a 4 x 14 inch by 8-inch collar size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit and shut off any associated heating or cooling equipment before cutting into existing ductwork. Seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or approved metal duct tape to maintain system pressure integrity. Secure the collar connection to the branch duct with sheet metal screws spaced per SMACNA guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize A (Rectangular Opening)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches x 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize B (Round Collar)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollar Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A653 CS Type B G40 Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight, Rectangular to Round, Register\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA, NATE\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: PH74148\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346280251698,"sku":"PH74148","price":19.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310555197.jpg?v=1782076175","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-ph74148-duct-boot-4x14x8-in-30-gauge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
