Southwark Metal 1060-26GA_10IN Steel Pipe Tee 26 Gauge 10 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060-26GA_10IN is a hot dip galvanized steel pipe tee designed for use in sheet metal ductwork systems. Fabricated from 26-gauge hot dip galvanized steel, this free-flow tee measures 10 inches x 10 inches x 10 inches across all three openings. The free-flow design allows air to move through the branch connection without significant restriction, making it a reliable component in low-pressure supply and return air distribution. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC installers use this fitting when splitting a main duct run into a branch of equal diameter. Galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both conditioned and unconditioned spaces.

This tee is intended for use in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where round sheet metal fittings are required. It fits into standard 10-inch round duct runs and is appropriate for supply or return air branches in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The equal 10 x 10 x 10 sizing suits applications where the trunk and branch diameters are the same. Fabrication meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, which are the governing specifications for sheet metal ductwork in the HVAC trade.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC duct applications
• 26-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA fabrication standards
• Free-flow tee design minimizes airflow restriction at the branch connection
• Equal 10 x 10 x 10 inch openings simplify installation on same-diameter duct runs
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use with standard 10-inch round galvanized steel ductwork in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal contractor or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and de-energize the system before cutting into existing ductwork or securing the fitting. Secure connections with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct sealant or approved foil tape per local code requirements. Do not exceed the pressure class rating appropriate for 26-gauge construction as defined by SMACNA guidelines.
