Can't spend much time on this right now, but here's where I look for prefab sheetmetal. We've got a dealer nearby that sells their products.

....good call Coalen
..chances are if Greymetal doesnt have it...youll have to make your own

...youre looking for a 12 inch TAKEOFF....or STARTING COLLAR

Joeski...

FYI....
a 8x16 duct can adequately handle roughly 900fm...
a 12 inch round can barely handle 500 cfm...
.. just throwing this out there... as I do not know if this is even important to your installation or not.

.....happy ducting!

What happens if I try pushing 900 cfm through the 12 inch round duct. I have a garage and bar room off to the side of my house and the heat & AC can never get over to there. It's the farthest from the coal & oil forced air furnace and the AC. I wanted to add a duct booster fan to get those areas warm & cool when needed. Last night it got to be about 31*F in the garage and that's attached to the house with that bar room above the garage.

Thanks a lot.

Essentially...you ll only get the 500 cfm...or a little more
boosted will help

...but if the 12inch is at the END of the 8x16 run...chances are thats its not at full capacity any ways...and youll be fine
... the CFM ratings are typically a "max"..at best ideal
.and you need to consider any circuits BEFORE the 12 inch take off

...what is getting air to that space now?
Size wise(duct)

...what is getting air to that space now?It looks like 6 or 8 inch flex duct. I will look very closely this weekend

Yes it does. I need a ladder to measure the exact size but I do know it is at least as big as the 3 registers that are in that room. Thank you for your help.

....if feasible...make sure they can match the capacity of your new heat supply ducts flow rate

...happy ducting !

Joeski,

Right down the road from you is Trape sheet metal. They can probably fab anything you need. Come off Ridge at the bttom of the hill onto Linfield- Trappe. I think they're the 2nd on the right.

WOW, thank you Rick 386!!! I haven't had any luck with this so far. I can't ever find things using Google or Yahoo especially when I really really need something made locally.
