Worked example
A 4-point saddle over a 4 in. × 12 in. ductTwo 22.5° offsets, one each side of the duct, with its 12 in. top between them.
  1. 01Each offset: the 22.5° multiplier times the rise4 × 2.6 = 10 3/8″ between the marks of one offset
  2. 02The two inner marks sit the length of the duct apart; the outer marks one offset further out on each side:2 × 10.4 + 12 = 32 13/16″ from the first mark to the last
  3. 03Shrink, for both offsets2 × 4 × 3/16 = 1 1/2″

Answer: Marks 10 3/8″, 12″, 10 3/8″ apart — 32 13/16″ overall, from the unrounded 10.4 in. — and 1 1/2″ of shrink.
