Seal-tite RDP-052612 Tapered Snap Lock Round Pipe 12 in

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE RDP-052612 is a 12-inch diameter, 26-gauge tapered snap lock round pipe section used in low-pressure sheet metal ductwork systems. Each section measures 60 inches in length and features a tapered, snap lock seam that allows sections to connect without additional fasteners or crimping tools in the field. This pipe is a standard component in HVAC trunk-and-branch and radial duct distribution systems. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this product in both new construction and retrofit duct installations where round galvanized pipe is specified.

This round pipe section is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC supply and return air distribution. The snap lock seam design speeds up field assembly when running long straight duct runs. At 12 inches in diameter and 60 inches per section, it fits common main-trunk and large branch applications. Its tapered male end inserts into the female end of the next section, maintaining alignment and reducing air leakage at joints when properly sealed with mastic or foil tape per applicable mechanical codes.

Key Features

• 12-inch diameter suits large branch and main trunk duct runs
• 26-gauge sheet metal construction for structural rigidity in low-pressure systems
• 60-inch section length reduces the number of joints in a run
• Tapered snap lock seam allows tool-free field connection between sections
• Male-to-female taper design maintains alignment and supports airtight sealing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for residential and light commercial round snap lock duct systems using 12-inch diameter round pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before modifying any ductwork. All joints should be sealed with UL 181-listed mastic or foil-backed tape per local mechanical codes and SMACNA standards. Support hangers should be installed at intervals specified by the applicable mechanical code to prevent sagging.
