Southwark Metal 1060-26GA_14IN Steel Pipe Tee 26 Gauge 14in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060-26GA_14IN is a free-flow galvanized steel pipe tee designed for rectangular and round duct distribution systems in commercial and residential HVAC applications. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this tee measures 14 inches by 14 inches by 14 inches and is built to ACCA and SMACNA standards. The free-flow design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop at branch connections, supporting balanced airflow through the duct system. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers use this fitting where a main trunk line must split or branch to a lateral supply run.

This pipe tee is suited for forced-air supply and return duct systems in light commercial and residential construction. It fits into standard galvanized duct assemblies where trunk-to-branch transitions are required. The 14 by 14 by 14 inch configuration handles larger duct runs typical of main supply trunks or high-volume branch takeoffs. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA fabrication standards makes it appropriate for projects requiring documented duct construction specifications.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct system service
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards
• Free-flow tee geometry reduces static pressure loss at branch junctions
• Equal 14 by 14 by 14 inch opening dimensions simplify trunk-to-branch layout
• Galvanized finish is compatible with standard duct tape, mastic sealant, and drive-and-S slip connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style galvanized steel duct fitting compatible with 14-inch rectangular duct systems fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal mechanic or HVAC technician familiar with SMACNA duct construction guidelines. Shut down and lock out the air handling unit before connecting or sealing any duct fitting. Seal all joints with listed mastic or pressure-sensitive tape rated for HVAC duct systems per local mechanical code requirements. Avoid over-driving sheet metal screws at the gauge connections, as 26 gauge material can deform and compromise the seal.
