Flanged Branch 16ga

Branches (sometimes called “wyes” or “laterals”) are standard with rotational Angle Flange (AFL) ends, allowing connections with other flanged ductwork. 16 gauge steel material adds extra durability.

When ordering, specify material, gauge, dimensions A, B, C, end styles if not all AFL, and angle (standard 30°, optional 45°).

A - C ≥ C - B. Use formula to determine if a reducer is needed at C.
Length = C X 2 + 9"
Available with QF ends in diameters to 24", and other various end types
Available with 30° or 45° angle
Other gauges available: standard 22 and 20, 18, 14, 12 and 10

Contact Nordfab or your local Nordfab dealer for assistance with ordering 16 gauge Branches.
