Southwark Metal WS14_3-1/4X12 Duct Elbow 90 Degree 3.25x12

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL WS14_3-1/4X12 is a 90-degree rectangular sheet metal duct elbow designed for low-profile HVAC duct runs where space is limited. Constructed from hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance suitable for residential and light commercial forced-air systems. The flat, Broadway, longway configuration allows directional changes along the long dimension of the duct, making it a practical choice in tight mechanical spaces such as between floor joists or in shallow ceiling plenums. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this elbow as a standard component in rectangular ductwork assemblies that follow ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.

This elbow is intended for rectangular duct systems measuring 3-1/4 inches by 12 inches. The Broadway orientation means the turn is made on the long side of the duct cross-section, which is common in residential trunk-and-branch layouts and floor-register supply runs. It is well suited for new construction and retrofit installations where maintaining duct geometry through direction changes is critical to system performance and airflow balance.

Key Features

• 90-degree angle for standard directional changes in rectangular duct runs
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Flat, Broadway, longway profile for use in space-constrained installations
• Sized at 3-1/4 inches by 12 inches for direct fit into matching rectangular duct sections
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular duct systems with a 3-1/4 inch by 12 inch cross-section, following ACCA and SMACNA ductwork fabrication standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or journeyman sheet metal workers. Power to the air handling equipment should be shut off before modifying ductwork connections. Joints should be sealed with UL 181-listed duct mastic or approved metallic tape per local mechanical code requirements. Refer to SMACNA guidelines for proper support spacing and fastener requirements when integrating this elbow into a duct system.
