Mcdaniel Metals PL16X223/4X36-R6 Plenum R6 26GA

Product Description

The MCDANIEL METALS PL16X223/4X36-R6 is a fabricated galvanized sheet metal plenum measuring 16 inches wide by 22.75 inches deep by 36 inches long, built to R6 insulation specification at 26-gauge steel construction. This plenum ships without flanges and is designed for use as an air distribution component in forced-air HVAC systems. At 23.5 pounds, the unit is a substantial, ready-to-install piece suited for residential and light commercial duct installations where thermal performance and structural integrity are required at the plenum transition point. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This plenum is intended for forced-air heating and cooling systems requiring an insulated supply or return air plenum box. The R6 insulation value makes it appropriate for unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms where thermal loss at the air handler connection is a concern. It is fabricated from galvanized sheet metal, providing corrosion resistance in typical HVAC environments. The no-flange configuration suits installations where the connecting ductwork or air handler collar is field-fabricated or where flanges would interfere with the installation geometry.

Key Features

• 26-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and structural rigidity
• R6 insulation rating reduces thermal loss in unconditioned installation spaces
• No-flange design for compatibility with field-fabricated duct connections
• Made in the USA
• Dimensions: 16 inches x 22.75 inches x 36 inches
• Silver galvanized finish; insulated construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fabricated sheet metal plenum for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems requiring a no-flange, R6-insulated plenum at air handler or furnace connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or journeyman sheet metal worker in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Shut down and lock out the air handling unit before fitting or securing the plenum. Seal all seams and connections with approved duct mastic or UL-listed foil tape to maintain system efficiency and meet energy code requirements. Do not compress or puncture the insulation lining during handling, as this reduces the effective R-value.
