Snappy 20-36 Galvanized S Cleat 36 Inches

Product Description

The SNAPPY 20-36 is a 36-inch galvanized S cleat designed for joining and sealing sheet metal duct sections in forced-air HVAC systems. S cleats, also called S slips, slide over the mating edges of two rectangular duct sections to create a secure longitudinal seam. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in both residential and light commercial duct installations. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this cleat as a standard fastening component in low-pressure supply and return duct assemblies.

This 36-inch cleat is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air ductwork fabrication and installation. It is sized to span a full 36-inch duct face, making it a common choice for larger trunk lines and plenums where a single-piece cleat is preferred over shorter sections. Sheet metal fabricators working on new construction or retrofit duct systems will find this length covers standard wide-duct applications without splicing.

Key Features

• 36-inch length spans full wide-duct faces in a single piece
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct service
• S-profile design locks two duct edges together for a secure longitudinal seam
• Compatible with standard sheet metal duct fabrication practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for galvanized sheet metal rectangular duct assemblies using S-cleat or S-slip connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or qualified HVAC technicians following SMACNA duct construction standards. Shut down the air handling system before working on duct sections. Drive cleats firmly onto mating duct edges using a mallet or cleat driver, and secure ends with sheet metal screws or bend tabs per standard practice. Seal all seams with UL 181-listed duct mastic or tape per applicable mechanical codes.
