Duc-pac 86540 6 Inch 26 Gauge Cap No Crimp

Product Description

The DUC-PAC 86540 is a 6-inch, 26-gauge sheet metal end cap designed for use in prefabricated forced-air duct systems. The no-crimp design allows for clean, straightforward termination of round duct runs without requiring field crimping before installation. Fabricated from 26-gauge steel, this cap provides a consistent fit and is built to the dimensional standards used across standard residential and light commercial ductwork. HVAC installers rely on end caps like this one to properly close off duct terminations, cap unused branch openings, or seal sections during phased construction.

This end cap is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct installations where 6-inch round duct is used. It is particularly useful on forced-air supply or return systems that require a clean, secure termination point. The no-crimp profile eliminates the need to step down or reduce the duct end before fitting, saving time during installation. It is sold in a pack of 96 units, making it appropriate for stocking on larger projects or distributor inventory.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter fits standard round duct of the same nominal size
• 26-gauge steel construction for consistent rigidity and shape retention
• No-crimp design eliminates field preparation before installation
• Prefabricated for uniform fit across all units in the pack
• Sold in a pack of 96 for project and stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style prefabricated fitting for use with standard 6-inch round galvanized steel duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal installers. Power down the air handling system before accessing duct sections. Secure the cap using sheet metal screws and seal seams with UL 181-rated tape or mastic per local mechanical code requirements. Do not use this cap on duct systems carrying exhaust gases or high-moisture airstreams without verifying material suitability.
