Southwark Metal 100_8IN Oval Sheet Metal Pipe 8x100 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 100_8IN is an oval sheet metal pipe section used in forced-air duct systems for residential and light commercial HVAC installations. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this pipe delivers durable airflow distribution where round duct is not practical due to space constraints. At 8 inches in diameter and 100 inches in length, it fits runs that require a longer single section with minimal seams. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics are the typical installers for this type of duct product.

This oval pipe section is suited for supply and return air distribution in ducted HVAC systems where ceiling, wall, or floor cavities require an oval profile rather than round. The 8-inch size handles common residential trunk-to-branch and branch-run applications. At 100 inches per section, fewer joints are needed compared to shorter pieces, which reduces potential for air leakage. It conforms to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, making it appropriate for installations that must meet those industry guidelines.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned air environments
• Oval profile fits confined spaces where round duct cannot be routed
• 100-inch length reduces the number of joints per run, limiting air leakage points
• 8-inch size suits common residential and light commercial branch and trunk applications
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal ductwork

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for ducted forced-air HVAC systems requiring 8-inch oval sheet metal duct sections fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and close the disconnect before working on any connected duct section. Secure all joints with appropriate fasteners and seal with listed duct sealant or mastic per local code requirements. Avoid over-crimping the oval profile during fitting, as deformation can restrict airflow and alter system static pressure.
