10" Dovetail Start Collar — Galvanized Steel

This 10-inch dovetail start collar creates a round branch connection from duct board, plenums, or compatible flat duct surfaces to round HVAC ductwork. The integral dovetail tabs help secure the collar to the opening without requiring a separate mounting flange.

Constructed from galvanized steel, the collar provides a durable connection for residential and commercial HVAC supply-air and return-air systems. The round end connects to compatible 10-inch duct pipe or flexible duct.

Sizing Note: The 10-inch measurement identifies the nominal round duct connection diameter. Confirm the required opening and duct size before installation.
