Value Collection 57231261 Galvanized Straight Stack Boot 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 57231261 is a galvanized steel straight stack boot designed to transition from round duct to a rectangular floor or wall register in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork systems. With a 6-inch inside diameter inlet and a 3-1/4 inch by 12 inch rectangular outlet, this boot provides a standard-geometry connection point for supply air distribution. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical forced-air system environments. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this fitting during new construction and retrofit ductwork runs where a straight boot configuration is required.

This straight stack boot is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems, including gas furnace and air handler supply duct installations. The straight profile is commonly used in floor and low-sidewall register applications where the duct drops vertically into the boot from above. The 3-1/4 inch by 12 inch face dimensions align with standard residential register sizing, simplifying register selection and rough-in layout. It ships as a single unit, making it practical for individual replacement jobs or small-volume service calls.

Key Features

• 6-inch ID round inlet connects directly to standard 6-inch round supply duct
• 3-1/4 inch by 12 inch rectangular outlet fits standard residential floor and sidewall registers
• Straight stack geometry for vertical drop-in installations
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned-air environments
• Standard gauge sheet metal fabrication for typical residential and light commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems using 6-inch round supply branch ducts and standard 3-1/4 inch by 12 inch floor or sidewall registers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal contractors. Power down the air handler or furnace and verify the system is off before cutting into existing ductwork. Secure the boot to the branch duct using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated foil tape or duct mastic to meet energy code requirements. Consult local mechanical codes for fastener spacing and sealing requirements prior to installation.
