What Is a Duct Boot?
HVAC boots are made of galvanized sheet metal and are designed to convert ductwork into a vent to heat a room. In a home, the trunk of the HVAC system either runs through the ceiling or the basement of the home. The trunk consists of the main ductwork line that supplies all the air throughout the house. From the trunk, there are lines that branch out the run to each room in the home. These lines usually use round duct pipe or flex duct pipe to carry the air to each room. To run the air most efficiently into each room a duct boot is needed. A boot is a fitting that is circular on one end and rectangular on the other, which allows it to connect to the round pipe and is framed into the floor or ceiling where the rectangular part is faced towards the direction of the room. Once the floor or ceiling has been completely installed then a vent is placed in the boot resting on the floor or ceiling, creating a finished look.
Types of HVAC Boots
Boots are available in a variety of different options. The three most common types of duct boots are angle, end, and straight boot. The angled boot provides a ninety-degree angle, which allows the ductwork to change directions from horizontal to vertical. An end boot is used with terminations, in other words, it simply converts the ductwork into a vent. The last is the straight boot, which is used when the ductwork is already running straight and then converts it into a vent. Along with the different duct boot types, there is also a wide selection of different boot sizes. This is a necessary distinction to consider as there is not a standard duct or vent size. It also allows you to select the vent size you would like depending on the size of the room. HVAC boot sizes include 5”, 6”, 7”, and 8”, diameter so you can select the size that best coordinates with your system.
