Value Collection 47108860 Galvanized Duct Side Ceiling Box

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 47108860 is a galvanized steel side ceiling box designed for ducted HVAC distribution systems. It accepts a 6-inch inside diameter duct connection from the side and mounts at the ceiling plane to transition airflow into a register or grille. The box measures 8 inches wide by 8 inches long by 7 inches tall, making it a standard-profile fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air installations. At 1.67 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-tech installation. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors work with this fitting when building out supply or return trunk-and-branch duct systems.

This side ceiling box is used in forced-air heating and cooling systems where a branch duct runs into a ceiling-mounted register. It is suited for residential new construction, renovation work, and light commercial applications. The side-entry design allows the duct to connect horizontally into the box while the face opening aligns with the ceiling surface for a flush register fit. It is appropriate for standard residential duct layouts using 6-inch round branch ducts.

Key Features

• 6-inch inside diameter side entry accepts standard 6-inch round branch duct
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic and plenum environments
• 8 x 8 inch face fits common square ceiling register and grille sizes
• 7-inch overall height provides adequate depth for ceiling cavity installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems using 6-inch round branch ducts and 8 x 8 inch ceiling registers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. The air handling system should be powered down and the system fan disabled before fitting or modifying any duct components. Secure the box to ceiling framing using appropriate sheet metal screws and seal all joints with listed duct sealant or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Do not overtighten fasteners against the galvanized surface in a way that distorts the box opening or the duct collar.
