Snappy 65-09 Galvanized Crimp Cap 9 Inch 26 Gauge

Product Description

The SNAPPY 65-09 is a 9-inch galvanized sheet metal crimp cap designed for use in sheet metal ductwork systems. Fabricated from 26-gauge galvanized steel, this crimp cap terminates or caps off a duct tee connection, maintaining airflow integrity and preventing unwanted air leakage at open branch ends. It is a standard component in residential and light commercial HVAC duct assemblies and is handled by sheet metal installers and HVAC service technicians during duct fabrication or system modification. The part weighs 0.50 pounds and fits 9-inch duct fittings.

This crimp cap is suited for round or oval duct tee terminations in forced-air heating and cooling systems. It is commonly installed during new duct construction or retrofit work where a branch opening needs to be closed off. The 26-gauge galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for standard interior duct applications. The crimped end allows for a secure press fit onto a mating duct collar without requiring additional fasteners in most installations.

Key Features

• 9-inch fitting size for direct compatibility with standard 9-inch duct tee openings
• 26-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Crimped end design allows press-fit installation onto mating duct collars
• Lightweight at 0.50 pounds for easy single-technician handling
• Caps off open branch ends to maintain system airflow and reduce air leakage

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation component for 9-inch round duct tee fittings in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics during duct fabrication or system service. Power down the air handling unit and confirm the system is depressurized before working on open duct connections. The crimped end seats onto the duct collar and should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with UL 181-rated duct tape or mastic per applicable mechanical codes. Do not force the cap onto an oversized or deformed collar, as this can compromise the seal.
