The OB7506 is a transition boot that converts airflow from a 6-inch round duct to an oval or rectangular opening via a 90° sweep. It’s typically used where a round duct must feed into an oval register box or oval ductwork with a right-angle turn.
Model / Part Number: OB7506 (Lukjan round-to-oval boot) — catalogued by Lennox as “Oval to Round Boot Elbow 6″ × 6″, 90°” (i.e. round-to-oval / oval-to-round) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Boot length (throat / elbow sweep length): 9 inches (nominal) — the distance along the elbow path from round inlet to oval outlet plane
Depth (projection / major manifold dimension): 10-1/4 inches (10.25″) — the outward depth or “face height” of the oval outlet opening
Material: Galvanized steel (common for HVAC duct fittings)
— likely manufactured in standard sheet metal gauge (e.g. 30 gauge) unless otherwise specified
Finish: Hot-dip galvanization or G-series galvanized coating (to inhibit corrosion in indoor HVAC applications)
Weight (estimated): ~0.5 lb (by analogy to analogous Lukjan boots)
— actual value depends on gauge and exact dimensioning
Applications:
Used where a 6″ round duct must feed into an oval register boot or duct with a right-angle change.
Useful in installations where space constraints require oval output and the round duct must turn 90° to feed it.
Installation / connection notes:
Mount the round duct to the round inlet, using screws, rivets, or cleat tabs as standard.
Ensure the oval outlet aligns with matching oval receiver / register frame or duct opening.
Seal all seams and joints with foil HVAC tape or duct mastic to ensure airtightness.
Avoid sharp bends immediately before or after the elbow to limit pressure drop and turbulence.
Deburr interior edges where possible to improve airflow smoothness.
Technical & Performance Notes
The round-to-oval transition will inherently alter cross-sectional shape; ensure that the oval outlet provides equivalent or greater cross-sectional area compared to the round inlet to avoid excessive velocity or pressure drop.
The 10.25″ depth indicates a relatively long output footprint, which can help smooth airflow transition but requires enough space behind the register or duct opening.
Galvanized steel provides durability in typical indoor HVAC environments; inspect periodically for corrosion in humid or exposed installations.
The elbow curvature (90° sweep) should be gradual to minimize losses; extremely sharp internal bends should be avoided if possible.
When designing the system, include allowances for the transition’s pressure drop in the duct calculations (elbows and transitions generally incur extra losses relative to straight duct).
