16" x 8" x 96" Trunk Duct

16" x 8" x 96" Rectangular Trunk Duct – Contractor-Grade Air Distribution

The 16" x 8" x 96" rectangular trunk duct is manufactured from galvanized sheet steel and designed for high-performance HVAC supply and return systems. This section provides consistent airflow, long service life, and compliance with SMACNA fabrication standards for rectangular duct construction.

Technical Specifications

• Material: 26 gauge galvanized steel, lock-forming quality
• Coating: G-30 galvanized finish per ASTM-A653 CS Type B
• Dimensions: 16 inches wide x 8 inches high x 96 inches long
• Connection Type: Loose cleat transverse joint system
• Compliance: Fabricated in accordance with SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction Standards

Application

This duct section is intended for use as a main trunk line in residential, commercial, and light industrial HVAC systems. Its galvanized steel construction provides strength and corrosion resistance for long-term service in demanding environments.

Installation Guidelines

Install per SMACNA standards with proper support spacing to prevent sagging or deflection. Seal all joints and seams with UL-listed duct mastic or tape to achieve airtightness and maintain compliance with energy codes. Proper alignment of loose cleat joints is required to ensure a secure connection and minimize air leakage.

Key Advantages

• Durable Construction: Galvanized steel resists corrosion and deformation under load.
• Efficient Assembly: Loose cleat connection reduces installation time while maintaining structural integrity.
• Professional Grade: Manufactured to meet the performance requirements of engineered HVAC systems.
• Code Compliant: Meets ASTM and SMACNA standards for duct materials and fabrication.

The 16" x 8" x 96" galvanized trunk duct offers HVAC contractors a reliable and code-compliant solution for rectangular air distribution systems. Its heavy-duty construction and standardized design provide efficient installation and long-term system performance.
