Understanding Chamfered Duct Transitions (Lepe Hoek)
A chamfered transition piece (known in Dutch as a lepe hoek or lepe hoekstuk) is a specialized ventilation fitting that smoothly guides airflow from a flat, rectangular duct shape to a round duct, or vice versa. The word leep refers to the sloped or chamfered geometry of the transition bend.
This fitting type is frequently used for embedded residential ventilation ductwork. Because the fitting is cataloged in Stabicad as a Rectangular - Round Elbow (Recht - rond bocht), installers searching specifically for "lepe hoek" may sometimes find it difficult to locate during active drawing.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start drawing an air duct (e.g., embedded residential ducting / instort - woningbouw).
- While drawing, right-click to open the shortcut/context menu.
- Click Fitting (Hulpstuk) and select Rectangular - Round Elbow (Recht - rond bocht).
- Enter the required dimensions in the dialog window and click OK to confirm and place the fitting.
Tip: Verify that the dimensions match both the preceding rectangular duct and the connecting round duct parameters.
