Southwark Metal 1207 Sheet Metal S-cleat 60 Inches

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 1207 is a hot-dip galvanized steel S-cleat used to join and lock together sections of rectangular sheet metal ductwork. The S-cleat slides over the mating edges of two duct sections, creating a secure mechanical connection that maintains duct alignment and limits air leakage at seams. At 60 inches in length, a single piece spans a full duct joint without splicing. Hot-dip galvanization provides corrosion resistance suited to attic, crawlspace, and light commercial mechanical room environments. HVAC sheet metal mechanics use this cleat during duct fabrication and field assembly.

The 1207 S-cleat is used in forced-air HVAC duct systems built from rectangular sheet metal. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit duct fabrication in residential and light commercial applications. Installers cut the cleat to the required width on-site using sheet metal snips or a cleat cutter. This cleat type is standard in SMACNA-compliant duct assemblies alongside drive cleats and companion connectors at duct section joints.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in typical HVAC environments
• S-profile slides over mating duct flanges to mechanically lock adjoining duct sections
• 60-inch length covers a full standard duct joint in one piece
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication
• Can be cut to width on-site for various duct sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fabrication component for rectangular sheet metal ductwork assemblies in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics or journeyman duct fabricators. Cut the cleat to the required duct width using sheet metal snips or a power cleat cutter before sliding it onto the mating duct edges. Ensure the HVAC system is powered down and the air handler is off before working on duct assemblies in an active system. Follow SMACNA duct construction standards for cleat gauge selection and sealing requirements applicable to the system pressure class.
