Air Flow Products PI05SL26GA Snap-lock Galvanized Pipe

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS PI05SL26GA is a snap-lock galvanized steel pipe section used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Constructed from 26-gauge galvanized steel, it measures 5 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length. The snap-lock seam design allows the pipe to be assembled quickly without additional fasteners along the longitudinal joint, making it a reliable choice for round duct trunk lines, branch runs, and exhaust connections. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this pipe as a core component in low-pressure supply and return air systems.

This pipe section is suited for round duct installations in forced-air heating and cooling systems. It connects to standard 5-inch round duct fittings including elbows, tees, reducers, and collars. The 5-foot length allows for straightforward installation in wall cavities, attic runs, and mechanical room layouts where cutting is minimized. It is commonly installed as part of a complete trunk-and-branch or radial duct distribution system in residential new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• 26-gauge galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in typical duct environments
• Snap-lock seam eliminates the need for separate longitudinal fasteners during assembly
• 5-inch diameter fits standard round duct fittings and collars
• 5-foot length reduces field cutting in common stud-bay and joist-bay installations
• Compatible with standard round duct tape, mastic, and sheet metal screws for sealed joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round duct pipe section compatible with standard 5-inch galvanized duct fittings used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit before making connections at the air handler or furnace collar. Seal all joints with listed duct mastic or UL 181-rated tape and secure with sheet metal screws per code requirements. Do not use this pipe in high-pressure or high-velocity duct systems beyond its gauge rating.
