Value Collection 36508000 Galvanized Round Duct Takeoff 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36508000 is a galvanized steel round duct takeoff fitting designed for use in sheet metal ductwork systems. This fitting connects branch ducts to a main trunk line, allowing conditioned air to be distributed to individual zones or rooms. With an 8-inch inside diameter and an overall width of 13 inches, it is sized for standard residential and light commercial HVAC applications. The galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance suited to typical forced-air duct environments. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers are the primary trades who work with this fitting.

This round takeoff is used where a branch duct must tap off a rectangular or flat-oval trunk duct in a forced-air heating or cooling system. The 8-inch ID accommodates standard 8-inch round branch duct runs. The fitting length of 1-1/4 inches keeps the collar compact, making it practical in tight plenum spaces or where multiple takeoffs are spaced closely along a trunk. It is appropriate for residential new construction, residential retrofit, and light commercial duct fabrication projects.

Key Features

• 8-inch inside diameter fits standard 8-inch round branch duct
• 13-inch overall width for compatibility with wider trunk duct installations
• 1-1/4-inch collar length for compact installation in tight spaces
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical forced-air duct environments
• Standard gauge sheet metal fabrication consistent with common duct construction practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 8-inch round branch duct connections in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC ductwork systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics following local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before cutting into an existing trunk duct. Secure the takeoff collar with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated duct tape or mastic sealant to maintain system efficiency and prevent air leakage. Handle cut sheet metal edges with gloves to avoid injury from sharp burrs.
