AWENTA 15° Elbow for Round Duct, Ø100 mm, model A-KO100-23/1

AWENTA 15° Elbow for Round Duct, Ø100 mm (model A-KO100-23/1) is a metal duct fitting designed to redirect airflow in ventilation systems with a nominal diameter of 100 mm. The component provides a gentle 15-degree change of direction to connect round ducts while maintaining smooth airflow and minimizing turbulence. It is intended for use in residential and light commercial HVAC installations where small angle deviations are required to navigate around obstacles or achieve better routing in constrained spaces.

Advantages

The AWENTA 15° elbow reduces pressure loss compared with sharper angle fittings due to its shallow bend, helping preserve fan efficiency and airflow. Constructed to match standard 100 mm round duct dimensions, it enables straightforward integration with existing ductwork. Its compact form factor increases installation flexibility in tight areas and helps maintain consistent airflow distribution without complex modifications.

Suitable for

• Residential ventilation systems with 100 mm round ducts
• Light commercial HVAC installations requiring small directional changes
• Routing ductwork around structural obstacles in confined spaces
• Retrofit projects where minimal disturbance to existing ducts is needed

Key specifications

• Nominal duct diameter: 100 mm
• Angle of deflection: 15°
• Shape: round elbow
• Application: ventilation and air distribution systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard round metal ducts of corresponding diameter

How to use

Fit the 15° elbow between two sections of 100 mm round duct, ensuring a secure connection by inserting the duct ends fully into the fitting or using appropriate coupling methods such as clamps or seals. Align the elbow to achieve the required change of direction and verify that the mating ducts are properly supported to avoid strain on joints. After installation, inspect seams for airtightness and, if necessary, apply suitable sealing tape or mastic to minimize air leakage and maintain system efficiency.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the AWENTA 15° elbow in combination with properly sized fans and filters. Avoid using multiple small-angle fittings in sequence where a single larger-radius fitting would provide a smoother airflow path. Regularly check connections for tightness and seal integrity during maintenance intervals to preserve ventilation performance.
