Southwark Metal WS14_3-1/4X14 Duct Elbow 90 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL WS14_3-1/4X14 is a 90-degree rectangular sheet metal duct elbow designed for low-profile HVAC duct runs where space is limited. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this elbow measures 3.25 inches by 14 inches and supports both Broadway (longway turn) and Flat (shortway turn) configurations in a single fitting. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this elbow to route rectangular duct through tight building cavities while maintaining proper airflow geometry. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for residential and light commercial forced-air systems.

This elbow is suited for rectangular supply and return duct systems in residential and light commercial HVAC installations. The 3.25-inch by 14-inch cross-section fits common wall and floor cavity dimensions found in new construction and retrofit applications. Its dual-orientation capability — Broadway or Flat — gives installers flexibility to route the duct turn in either the longway or shortway direction without sourcing two separate fittings. Licensed sheet metal contractors and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of fabricated duct systems following SMACNA duct construction standards.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn angle for standard duct direction changes
• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air applications
• Supports both Broadway (longway) and Flat (shortway) orientations
• 3.25 inches by 14 inches rectangular cross-section fits common residential cavity sizes
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for rectangular forced-air duct systems requiring a 3.25-inch by 14-inch 90-degree elbow in Broadway or Flat orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or journeyman sheet metal worker in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit and close any associated dampers before modifying an existing duct system. Secure all duct connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant to prevent air leakage. Do not force or modify the fitting geometry — use the correct orientation (Broadway or Flat) as required by the duct layout.
