Southwark Metal 1060_6IN Steel Pipe Tee 6x6x6 in 30 Gauge

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060_6IN is a free-flow galvanized steel pipe tee designed for round duct branch connections in forced-air HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 30 gauge, this fitting provides a corrosion-resistant, structurally sound branch takeoff in trunk-and-branch duct layouts. All three openings measure 6 inches, making it a symmetrical tee suited for balanced airflow distribution. The free-flow design minimizes turbulence and static pressure loss at the branch junction. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers are the primary trades who work with this fitting on both new construction and retrofit duct systems.

This pipe tee is used in residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where a 6-inch round branch is needed off a 6-inch main. Typical applications include supply trunk extensions, branch splits, and attic or crawlspace duct runs where a galvanized fitting is required by code or specification. The hot-dip galvanized finish makes it appropriate for unconditioned spaces where condensation or humidity exposure is a concern. Fabrication and installation should conform to SMACNA and ACCA standards as noted in the product specifications.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in unconditioned or humid environments
• 30-gauge steel wall thickness for standard residential and light commercial duct applications
• Free-flow tee geometry reduces static pressure loss at branch junctions
• Symmetrical 6 x 6 x 6 inch configuration simplifies layout in balanced duct systems
• Meets SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards for sheet metal ductwork fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for 6-inch round duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA standards in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC sheet metal mechanic or licensed HVAC contractor. Shut down the air handling unit and lock out power before connecting or modifying duct sections. Joints should be sealed with approved duct mastic or UL 181-listed tape in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines. Ensure all connections are secure and properly supported before restoring system operation.
