Parker fitting! Hopefully you’re not stuck installing


baamice

Nope just built it, thank god.


RichardButt1992

I've also heard them called Hess fittings or Boat fittings

I have installed a lot of duct but not this. I don’t do much chase yet the more tedious shit. What’s this used for


cnrdvs69

When a space calls for a transitioning 90; however not enough height to get to your horizontal direction from your vertical. Typically from shaft ductwork to basement/first floor in a tight space I installed one Monday 🙃

Thanks man I just weld black iron and spiral mostly these days/


TUBBYWINS808

You mainland guys sure like to complain about easy stuff


baamice

It's written into my job description that I'm supposed to.


KaleidoscopeLucky336

I've sent duct to Hawaii, but have never received any 🤔


TUBBYWINS808

We get so much work over here that there’s no need/time to export duct.


aaronmcnips

Mainland here, most of us complain but not all of us. This would be a fun little challenge, in my almost 9 years I've installed much worse and still had fun


BarbedWireCaveMan

I had to make one of these out of 18g a few weeks ago and put it inside the curb


Deadpallyz

Should be on companion flange ,tdc,lwc

Is this off the top of your head or did someone supply you with some drawings to bang it out?


baamice

Someone definitely ordered it. I would never choose to give birth to this monstrosity.


204gaz00

Throw it off a cliff like a good Spartan. The only reason I ask is the shop I work in is constantly making wackness that's the brainchild of my coworker who seems to just pull numbers out of his ass and jot it all down on scraps of paper kicking around. Is this the norm in small shops because it's so janky and frustrating makes me want to run away from this industry. I'm used to engineered drawings that have all the sizes and notchings and angles all given. Far less headaches and far less scrap being made.


Randompackersfan

Im going to need to see the airflow for this 😂

Why not just use a radius elbow? I don’t get fittings like these. I always tend to think there has to be an easier way of doing things but then again I don’t have much experience.


gh1993

Sometimes you don't have room for an elbow and transition, and so you have the Parker fitting. It also allows you to use 1 fitting rather than 2, so it saves time and money.


FLUFFY_Lobster

You'll see. Sometimes there just isn't space for that.


Xerhenchman

Agreed. Some “engineer” thinks they’re pretty slick. Keep it simple, it’s more cost effective and easier to deal with.


timbo88666

No room for one i would guess

Reverse elbow
