Southwark Metal 1060_5IN Galvanized Steel Pipe Tee 5in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060_5IN is a 30-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel pipe tee designed for round duct systems in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications. Built to a free-flow configuration, it allows air to move through all three openings without restriction, reducing static pressure loss at the branch junction. All three openings measure 5 inches, making it a symmetrical tee suited for balanced branch takeoffs. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this fitting when splitting or combining equal-diameter round duct runs in residential and light commercial systems.

This tee is used in round duct assemblies where a single trunk line branches into two equal runs, or where two runs merge into one. Its 5-inch by 5-inch by 5-inch configuration fits common residential supply and return branch circuits. The hot-dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces, including attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms. It is manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA standards, which govern sheet metal duct fabrication and air distribution system performance.

Key Features

• 30-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Free-flow design minimizes pressure drop at the branch junction
• Symmetrical 5-inch x 5-inch x 5-inch openings for equal-diameter branch connections
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct fabrication
• Suitable for both residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 5-inch round duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians following SMACNA duct construction guidelines. Power down the air handling equipment and relieve any system pressure before working on duct connections. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape as required by local mechanical codes. Do not overtighten fasteners on 30-gauge material, as the gauge is susceptible to deformation at connection points.
