At 3.5 inches in overall height, this fitting is built for tight spaces where a standard longway reducer would not fit. The uncrimped end allows the installer to make field connections without a pre-formed bead, giving flexibility in how the fitting seats into the adjoining ductwork. It is a standard-gauge galvanized fitting suited for low-pressure HVAC supply and return duct systems in residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is used when downsizing round duct runs in forced-air systems — common in branch takeoffs, trunk-to-branch transitions, and equipment-side connections. The shortway profile keeps the fitting compact along the duct axis, which is useful in confined mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and drop ceilings. HVAC sheet metal technicians and ductwork installers are the primary trades who work with this fitting. Its standard-gauge galvanized construction is appropriate for typical sheet metal duct systems operating at conventional residential static pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransitions from 7-inch ID to 6-inch reduced ID in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShortway profile at 3.5 inches overall height conserves space in tight duct runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncrimped end allows field-formed connections without a pre-set bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard-gauge galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned-air environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40141700 for straightforward procurement classification\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 duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or sheet metal installer familiar with duct fabrication practices. Shut down the air handler or furnace and de-energize the system before disturbing any duct connections. Secure the reducer with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL-listed duct mastic or foil-backed tape in accordance with local mechanical codes. Avoid over-compressing the fitting into adjoining duct sections, as deformation of the collar can restrict airflow and increase system static pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shortway Reducer Without Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 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: 45107060\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695442821426,"sku":"45107060","price":46.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/23f295fa74f194914a2b90bb4273bb77.jpg?v=1788335058","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-45107060-galvanized-duct-shortway-reducer","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
