Southwark Metal 1060_8IN Steel Pipe Tee 8x8x8 Inch Free Flow

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1060_8IN is a hot dip galvanized steel pipe tee designed for low-resistance airflow distribution in sheet metal duct systems. Built to 30 gauge steel, this free flow tee measures 8 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches and meets ACCA and SMACNA fabrication standards. The hot dip galvanizing process provides corrosion resistance suitable for both supply and return duct applications. HVAC sheet metal contractors and mechanical installers use this fitting where a straight-run tee connection is required in rectangular or round trunk duct systems.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations. The free flow design minimizes turbulence and static pressure loss at branch takeoff points, supporting efficient system airflow balance. It fits into new construction and retrofit duct layouts where an 8-inch by 8-inch by 8-inch tee connection is required. Mechanical contractors working to SMACNA duct construction standards will find this fitting consistent with standard seam and gauge requirements for that size class.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air applications
• 30 gauge steel consistent with SMACNA standards for this duct size range
• Free flow tee geometry reduces static pressure loss at branch connections
• 8 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches nominal size for direct trunk-to-branch transitions
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal ductwork

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA ductwork construction guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical code requirements. Seal all joints with listed duct sealant or mastic and drive cleats or screws per SMACNA connection requirements for the gauge and pressure class. Shut down the air handling system and de-energize associated equipment before cutting into existing ductwork. Do not use this fitting in exhaust, grease, or hazardous exhaust applications.
