Oval Ducts and Fittings

Oval Ducts vs. Round Ducts

Oval ducts are reasonably comparable to round ducts. Oval ducts are primarily used because they can more comfortably fit into hollows that other components, like rectangular or round ducts can’t fit into. Because oval ducts have rounded corners and aren’t square—numerous contractors see no distinction between oval or round ducts. However, the airflow in both is different.

Oval ducts have a more flattened, ellipses look to them. As it turns out, airflow properties are different. Even though round and oval ducts could be cut from the same metal, using the same materials, the properties are different. Studies have shown that if you need to move the same air as in a 5-inch round duct, you can use a 6-inch oval duct.
