Value Collection 15010-3000-1220 Duct In-line Branch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15010-3000-1220 is a galvanized steel in-line branch duct fitting designed for trunk-to-branch air distribution in sheet metal ductwork systems. With a main trunk inlet of 10 inches ID, a branch outlet of 6 inches ID, and a continuation outlet of 8 inches ID, this fitting allows an HVAC installer to tap a branch run directly off a main supply trunk without breaking the primary airflow path. The fitting is fabricated from 22-gauge galvanized steel and measures 25 inches in overall length. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installation technicians are the typical trades handling this component during new construction or duct retrofit projects.

This in-line branch fitting is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where a main supply trunk must split into a branch run while continuing forward. It is used in ducted air distribution systems served by gas furnaces, air handlers, or packaged units. The 22-gauge galvanized construction makes it appropriate for standard low-pressure supply or return duct applications. Its inline configuration simplifies trunk routing compared to wye or lateral branch fittings, making it a practical choice when space or layout requires a straight-through trunk with a single branch takeoff.

Key Features

• In-line branch design maintains trunk continuity while adding a single branch outlet
• 10-inch ID inlet, 6-inch ID branch outlet, and 8-inch ID continuation outlet
• 22-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned-air environments
• 25-inch overall length provides adequate transition geometry for smooth airflow
• Inside diameter sizing allows direct connection to standard round duct and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard low-pressure residential and light commercial round duct systems using 10-inch, 8-inch, and 6-inch round galvanized duct sections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians following SMACNA duct construction standards. Power to the air handling equipment must be shut off before connecting or modifying any supply or return duct sections. Secure all slip connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape to meet energy code requirements. Do not overtighten drive cleats or S-cleats on 22-gauge material, as deformation can compromise the connection and airflow seal.
