Snappy 65-03 Galvanized Crimp Cap 3 Inch Sheet Metal

Product Description

The SNAPPY 65-03 is a 3-inch galvanized sheet metal crimp cap designed for use in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from 26-gauge galvanized steel, this tee cap provides a secure termination point on crimped round duct runs. Its galvanized finish resists corrosion in typical duct environments. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this fitting during trunk-and-branch duct assembly where a branch run requires a clean, secure end cap. At 0.50 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during overhead or crawlspace installs.

This crimp cap fits standard 3-inch round galvanized duct and is suited for branch takeoffs, tee terminations, and dead-end closures in forced-air heating and cooling distribution systems. It is commonly installed in residential new construction and retrofit duct work where standard crimped-end round duct connections are used. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC mechanics working with conventional galvanized round duct will find this fitting compatible with typical crimp-fit assembly methods.

Key Features

• 3-inch fitting size for standard round galvanized duct
• 26-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Crimped end design for friction-fit installation on round duct
• Lightweight at 0.50 pounds for easy overhead and confined-space handling
• Suitable for tee cap and dead-end closure applications in forced-air duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch round galvanized crimped sheet metal duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics. Power down the air handling unit and close the system before modifying duct runs. Secure the crimp cap with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant per local mechanical code requirements. Avoid over-crimping or forcing the fitting, as this can deform the 26-gauge material and compromise the seal.
