Southwark Metal 160_7IN Sheet Metal Oval Pipe 7 in 60 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 160_7IN is a hot dip galvanized steel oval pipe section used in low-pressure air distribution ductwork. Measuring 7 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, this oval pipe is designed for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where round duct must transition or route through confined framing cavities. The hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to supply and return air applications. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct fabricators are the primary installers of this type of product.

This oval pipe section is used in forced-air heating and cooling systems where oval duct runs are specified to fit within floor joists, wall cavities, or other space-constrained framing. It is commonly used in new construction and retrofit duct system installations built to SMACNA and ACCA standards. The 60-inch length reduces the number of joints required on longer straight runs, which helps maintain system airflow efficiency and reduces potential leak points.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in air distribution applications
• Oval profile allows installation in framing cavities where round duct does not fit
• 60-inch section length reduces joint count on straight duct runs
• Fabricated to SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards
• 7-inch size compatible with standard oval duct fittings and transitions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation oval pipe section for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems built to SMACNA and ACCA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. The air handling system should be fully powered down before any duct modifications are made. Secure all joints with approved fasteners and seal with listed duct mastic or UL 181-listed tape to minimize air leakage. Support spacing and hanger methods should follow SMACNA guidelines for oval duct installations.
