Snappy 1-03026 Galvanized Sheet Metal Pipe 3 in 2 Ft 26 Gauge

Product Description

The SNAPPY 1-03026 is a 26-gauge galvanized sheet metal pipe section used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 2 feet in length, it serves as a straight run connector in forced-air distribution systems. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for supply and return air applications in conditioned spaces. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this pipe when building or extending trunk-and-branch duct layouts.

This pipe section fits standard 3-inch round duct fittings and is sized for low-velocity residential air distribution. It is commonly installed in new construction, renovation projects, and duct repair work where a short straight run is needed to connect boots, elbows, or trunk taps. The 2-foot length makes it practical for tight spaces and short offsets in attic, crawlspace, and basement installations.

Key Features

• 26-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and structural rigidity
• 3-inch diameter fits standard residential round duct fittings and boots
• 2-foot length suits short runs, offsets, and confined installation spaces
• Lightweight at 1.5 pounds per length for easy single-tech handling
• Compatible with standard slip-joint, drive, and sheet metal screw connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for 3-inch round galvanized duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit before connecting or sealing duct sections. Joints should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with UL 181-rated duct tape or mastic sealant to prevent air leakage. Avoid over-crimping the pipe end, as deformation reduces airflow cross-section.
