Value Collection 43106050 Galvanized Duct Reducer 6 to 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 43106050 is a galvanized steel tapered duct reducer designed to transition round ductwork from a 6-inch inside diameter down to a 5-inch inside diameter. The tapered, crimp-free end construction allows for a clean slip fit into the adjoining duct section without requiring additional notching or crimping steps. At 0.51 pounds, this lightweight fitting is built to standard gage galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in typical forced-air HVAC applications. HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers use this type of fitting when reducing trunk-line branches or transitioning between diffuser collar sizes in residential and light commercial duct systems.

This fitting is suited for round galvanized ductwork installations in residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. It is commonly installed when stepping down branch duct runs from a larger main trunk to a smaller downstream section, or when connecting to a register boot, diffuser, or grille of a reduced diameter. The 6-inch overall height provides adequate taper length for a secure, low-turbulence fit at the transition point.

Key Features

• Tapered design with no crimp, allowing direct slip-fit connection to adjoining duct sections
• 6-inch inside diameter inlet transitions to 5-inch inside diameter outlet
• Standard gage galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 6-inch overall height for a gradual, low-turbulence airflow transition
• Lightweight at 0.51 pounds for easy single-technician handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 6-inch to 5-inch round galvanized duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal installer. Power down and lock out the air handler or furnace before beginning duct work. Secure the fitting with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed foil tape or mastic sealant per local mechanical code requirements. Do not use standard cloth duct tape as a primary sealant on galvanized fittings.
