Draw bands provide a secure mechanical connection at duct joints, keeping sections properly seated and airtight during system operation. This band is fabricated from 28-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel, giving it corrosion resistance suited to both supply and return air duct systems. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabrication shops use this fitting in residential and light commercial forced-air systems where SMACNA and ACCA installation standards apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis draw band is intended for round sheet metal duct connections with a 12-inch diameter. It is commonly installed at duct-to-fitting transitions, trunk-to-branch connections, and other joints where a tight mechanical draw is required. The 28-gauge galvanized construction meets the material and thickness requirements referenced in SMACNA and ACCA ductwork standards, making it appropriate for new construction duct systems and retrofit or repair work on existing forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct system service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e28-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards for sheet metal ductwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 12-inch diameter round duct connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical draw-band design creates a firm, secure joint between duct sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard round sheet metal duct fittings and trunk connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 12-inch diameter round sheet metal ductwork.

Ensure the duct joint is fully seated before tightening the draw band to achieve a proper seal. Sheet metal screws and approved duct sealant or mastic are commonly used in conjunction with draw bands at joints per SMACNA guidelines. Always de-energize the air handling system before working on connected duct sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches Diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 96-28GA_12IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284065452338,"sku":"96-28GA_12IN","price":28.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277012.jpg?v=1781067599","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-96-28ga_12in-duct-draw-band-28-gauge-12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
