Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 24 gauge, this plaster frame provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant border around a duct boot opening where drywall or plaster finishes meet the register face. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this component to create a clean, stable transition between the duct termination and the finished wall or ceiling surface. It meets applicable ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct construction quality and dimensional consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plaster frame is sized at 6 inches by 12 inches, making it suited for standard return air boot openings in residential duct systems. It is typically installed during rough-in or finish stages of HVAC ductwork where a flush, plaster-ready border is required around the boot. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installation crews incorporate this frame into new construction and renovation projects where drywall or plaster finishes are applied directly up to the register opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and interior wall cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 gauge material thickness provides structural rigidity for a clean finished opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 inch by 12 inch frame size fits standard return air boot terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for return air duct applications in residential and light commercial systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sheet metal component for return air duct boot openings in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed sheet metal mechanics or HVAC technicians following SMACNA duct construction guidelines. Power down the air handler and close any associated dampers before working inside the duct system. Secure the frame to the boot and surrounding framing using appropriate sheet metal fasteners, and verify the frame sits flush before applying drywall or plaster finish. Cut edges may be sharp — use appropriate hand protection during handling and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches x 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Return Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31PF-24GA_6X12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284034486578,"sku":"31PF-24GA_6X12","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309276903.jpg?v=1781066744","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-31pf-24ga_6x12-duct-plaster-frame-24ga-6x12","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
