8" 45° Saddle Tap on Flat Duct — 26-Gauge Galvanized Steel

This 8-inch 45-degree saddle tap creates an angled round branch connection from the flat surface of rectangular HVAC ductwork or a compatible plenum. The 45-degree outlet provides a directional takeoff for connecting compatible round metal duct or flexible duct.

Constructed from 26-gauge galvanized steel, the fitting includes an integral flat mounting flange for fastening and sealing the saddle tap to the duct surface. It is suitable for residential and commercial supply-air, return-air, and ventilation systems.

Sizing Note: The 8-inch measurement identifies the nominal round branch connection diameter. Confirm the required duct opening and branch size before installation.
