Seal-tite RDP-053008 Snap Lock Round Pipe 8 in 30 Ga

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE RDP-053008 is a tapered snap lock round pipe section used in low-pressure sheet metal duct systems. Constructed to 30-gauge steel standards, this 8-inch diameter pipe ships in a 60-inch section length. The tapered design allows field sections to nest and connect without separate couplings, speeding trunk-and-branch assembly. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers use this pipe for supply and return air distribution in residential and light commercial forced-air systems. The snap lock seam eliminates the need for additional fastening along the longitudinal joint, keeping installation straightforward and reducing material handling time on the job.

This round pipe section fits standard low-pressure ducted HVAC applications where 8-inch round distribution is specified. It is suited for attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room runs where rigid sheet metal duct is required by code or design. The 60-inch section length reduces the number of joints on longer straight runs, which helps minimize leakage points and pressure loss across the duct system.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter for standard residential and light commercial duct sizing
• 30-gauge construction for rigid, low-pressure ductwork applications
• 60-inch section length reduces joint count on straight runs
• Tapered end allows direct male-to-female field connections without separate couplings
• Snap lock longitudinal seam eliminates additional seam fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and field-supply component for standard 8-inch round rigid sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal mechanic or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before connecting new duct sections to an existing system. Seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or metal-backed tape per local code requirements. Do not use standard cloth duct tape as a primary joint sealant on rigid sheet metal duct.
