Southwark Metal 1060_7IN Steel Pipe Tee 7x7x7 in 30 Gauge

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060_7IN is a free-flow galvanized steel pipe tee designed for use in sheet metal duct systems. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel at 30 gauge, this tee provides a branch connection in HVAC ductwork installations where air distribution needs to split or redirect from a main trunk line. The 7 inch by 7 inch by 7 inch configuration suits medium-diameter round duct runs. HVAC sheet metal installers and mechanical contractors work with this fitting on both new construction and retrofit projects where code-compliant, durable ductwork connections are required.

This pipe tee is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems using round galvanized pipe. It fits into standard supply or return air trunk-and-branch layouts where a tee connection is needed at equal diameters on all three ports. The free-flow design supports unobstructed airflow through the branch connection, making it appropriate for forced-air heating and cooling systems that demand consistent static pressure management across the duct network.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in HVAC duct environments
• 30-gauge steel wall provides a balance of rigidity and workability for field installation
• Free-flow interior geometry minimizes airflow restriction at the branch junction
• Equal 7 inch by 7 inch by 7 inch port sizing simplifies trunk-and-branch layouts
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 7 inch round galvanized steel duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics following SMACNA duct construction guidelines. Secure all connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape to meet local mechanical code requirements. Power down the air handler and verify the system is de-energized before working inside an active duct system. Do not compress or distort the tee body during fitting, as deformation will reduce airflow performance and make sealing more difficult.
