This fitting is used in low-pressure sheet metal ductwork systems to reduce duct size while maintaining smooth, consistent airflow through the transition. The tapered profile minimizes turbulence compared to abrupt step-down fittings. At 0.82 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this type of fitting as part of supply or return air trunk-and-branch duct systems in residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tapered reducer without crimp is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where a duct run requires a size reduction between the main trunk and a branch or terminal section. The plain end construction on both ends allows the installer to apply their own sheet metal screws and mastic or foil tape to connect to adjoining duct sections. It fits into standard galvanized round ductwork assemblies where an 8-inch-to-7-inch transition is required. No specific system or model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered profile reduces airflow turbulence through the diameter transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWithout-crimp end construction allows field-applied fastening and sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical HVAC duct environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch inlet ID to 7-inch reduced ID covers a common trunk-to-branch transition size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall height keeps the fitting compact within tight duct runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.82 pounds for easy single-technician handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard round galvanized ductwork systems requiring an 8-inch to 7-inch inside diameter reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors working under applicable mechanical codes such as SMACNA standards or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before cutting into or modifying existing ductwork. Secure both ends of the fitting to adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape to maintain duct integrity and system efficiency. Do not force-fit the reducer onto ducts of differing gauge or diameter without confirming dimensional compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter (Inlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Without Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43108070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707564982578,"sku":"43108070","price":37.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d93ef18f46d1c5307a13e58944b76db7.jpg?v=1788440959","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-43108070-galvanized-duct-tapered-reducer","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
