Seal-tite RDP-023009 Snap Lock Pipe 9 in 30 Gauge

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE RDP-023009 is a 9-inch diameter snap lock pipe section manufactured at 30 gauge and cut to a 24-inch section length. Snap lock pipe is a field-standard round duct component used in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC air distribution systems. The snap lock seam runs the length of the pipe and locks into place without additional fasteners, simplifying fabrication and assembly. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this pipe to build trunk-and-branch supply and return duct systems in new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe section is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial installations where round duct runs connect to fittings, transitions, or flex duct collars. The 24-inch section length makes it practical for short straight runs, transitions between fittings, and tight mechanical rooms where full-length pipe would be difficult to maneuver. The 30-gauge steel construction keeps the section lightweight while maintaining the rigidity expected for round duct in low-pressure applications.

Key Features

• 9-inch diameter fits standard residential and light commercial duct fittings of the same nominal size
• 30-gauge construction provides a lightweight section suitable for low-pressure air distribution
• 24-inch section length is practical for short runs, transitions, and confined spaces
• Snap lock seam eliminates the need for additional longitudinal fasteners during assembly
• Round profile compatible with standard collars, elbows, and take-offs of matching diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock component for residential and light commercial round duct systems using 9-inch nominal diameter snap lock pipe fittings and connectors.

Installation Notes

Snap lock pipe is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics following SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical code requirements. Secure pipe sections to fittings using sheet metal screws and seal all joints with listed duct sealant or UL 181-rated tape before insulating. Support horizontal runs at intervals consistent with applicable mechanical codes. Always de-energize the air handling unit and confirm the system is not under pressure before cutting into an existing duct system.
