Southwark Metal 54-24GA_12IN Steel Pipe Tee 24 Gauge 12 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 54-24GA_12IN is a hot dip galvanized steel pipe tee designed for use in sheet metal duct systems. Fabricated from 24-gauge hot dip galvanized steel, this fitting measures 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches and provides a three-way branch connection in round duct runs. The galvanized coating resists corrosion and extends service life in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit duct installations. It meets applicable ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it suitable for commercial and residential forced-air systems where code-compliant ductwork fabrication is required.

This tee fitting is used in round metal duct systems where a main trunk line requires a branch takeoff of equal diameter. Typical applications include supply and return air distribution in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The equal 12-inch sizing on all three openings suits high-volume airflow paths found in commercial air handling systems and larger residential installations. Sheet metal contractors and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of fabricated duct assemblies in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in duct applications
• 24-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA standards for this duct size range
• Equal 12-inch openings on all three ports for consistent airflow distribution
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• Three-way configuration allows trunk-to-branch transitions in round duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal fitting for use in 12-inch round galvanized steel duct systems fabricated and installed in accordance with SMACNA and ACCA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC mechanical contractor. Secure all duct connections with sheet metal screws and seal joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per applicable mechanical codes. Support the fitting independently where required by local code to prevent stress on connected duct sections. Power down all air handling equipment before making connections to an existing duct system.
