DUCT BOOT W/COLLAR 10″ X 6″ DBWC10X6

The DUCT BOOT W/COLLAR 10″ x 6″ (DBWC10X6) is a professional-grade HVAC transition component specifically engineered to connect rectangular ductwork to a round takeoff, making it essential in both new construction and retrofit HVAC installations. This component is particularly useful when duct systems need to be routed from a main rectangular line to a branch run using round duct. The 10″ x 6″ rectangular opening allows for seamless alignment with common trunk or branch ducts, while the pre-installed collar—typically 6″ or 8″ in diameter—offers a convenient point of attachment for round flexible or rigid duct runs.

Crafted from galvanized steel, this boot is built to resist rust, corrosion, and mechanical wear, ensuring longevity and consistent performance in demanding environments. The galvanization provides an extra layer of protection, making it suitable for use in residential, commercial, or light industrial HVAC systems. The steel construction also allows for easy customization on-site, such as minor cuts, screw holes, or insulation wrap fitting.

The flanged edge around the perimeter of the rectangular side not only helps create a secure seal against subfloors, joists, or wall cavities, but it also adds rigidity to the entire structure. The collar is machine-welded or pressed for tight fits, reducing potential air leakage and improving system efficiency. Professionals often use mastic, foil tape, or mechanical fasteners during installation to enhance the air seal and maintain the integrity of the duct system.

Thanks to its compact yet highly functional form, the DBWC10X6 is a preferred choice for floor, wall, or ceiling register connections where a rectangular-to-round transition is necessary. It’s compatible with standard HVAC grilles, registers, and diffusers, and can support a variety of airflow capacities depending on the attached duct size.

Whether you’re a contractor building a full duct system or a technician performing a retrofit, this duct boot provides a reliable, durable, and code-compliant solution.
