Southwark Metal 160_6IN Oval Sheet Metal Pipe 6x60 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 160_6IN is a hot-dip galvanized steel oval pipe section used in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, it connects ductwork runs where space constraints favor an oval profile over round pipe. The hot-dip galvanized finish resists corrosion and holds up in unconditioned spaces such as crawlspaces, basements, and attics. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this pipe as part of forced-air supply or return systems built to SMACNA and ACCA standards.

This oval pipe section fits into low-velocity forced-air distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications. The 6-inch size is common in branch runs off main trunk lines. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects where the oval cross-section allows routing through framing cavities or tight mechanical chases. Installation must conform to SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical code requirements.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in unconditioned spaces
• Oval profile suits installations where round pipe does not fit framing or structural constraints
• 60-inch length reduces the number of joints needed in straight duct runs
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct construction
• 6-inch nominal size fits standard branch-run fittings and collars

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems using 6-inch oval sheet metal fittings and connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor following SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Power down the air-handling unit and shut off the system before cutting into existing ductwork. Seal all joints with listed duct sealant or UL 181-rated tape — do not use standard cloth duct tape as the sole sealant. Handle cut sheet metal edges carefully to avoid injury.
