Southwark Metal 1060-26GA_9IN Steel Pipe Tee 26GA 9in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060-26GA_9IN is a free-flow galvanized steel pipe tee designed for use in sheet metal duct systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this fitting provides a three-way branch connection for supply or return air distribution in residential and light commercial HVAC applications. The free-flow design minimizes airflow restriction at the branch junction. This fitting meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant ductwork installations. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers are the primary trades working with this component.

This tee fitting is used where a main trunk line requires a branch takeoff in rectangular or round duct systems. The equal 9-inch by 9-inch by 9-inch sizing makes it suitable for balanced branch splits in forced-air heating and cooling systems. It is commonly installed in attic, basement, or crawlspace duct runs and in exposed commercial plenum applications where galvanized steel is required by code or specification.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct system performance
• 26 gauge material thickness appropriate for residential and light commercial duct fabrication
• Free-flow design supports efficient airflow at the tee junction
• Equal 9-inch x 9-inch x 9-inch sizing for balanced three-way branch connections
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal duct fitting for use in forced-air HVAC duct systems requiring a 9-inch by 9-inch by 9-inch pipe tee connection in 26 gauge galvanized steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic familiar with SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards. Shut down the air handling unit and isolate the duct section before cutting into an existing trunk line. Seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or approved foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Use appropriate sheet metal snips, drivers, and locking fasteners as specified by the duct system design.
