Constructed from hot dip galvanized steel at 28 gauge, this gear-clamp-style drawband provides a tight, reliable seal around duct connections. It is sized for 14-inch duct diameters, making it a standard choice for residential and light commercial trunk and branch duct assemblies. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers use this type of hardware to cinch slip-fit and drive-slip joints during new construction and retrofit ductwork installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drawband is suited for low-pressure forced-air supply and return duct systems where a secure mechanical connection is required at duct joints. It fits 14-inch round duct sections and is appropriate for use in residential air distribution systems and light commercial applications built to ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards. It is commonly installed during rough-in ductwork on gas furnace, heat pump, and air handler systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e28 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA duct hardware standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGear clamp design allows controlled tightening for a secure duct joint connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 14-inch duct diameter — a common trunk and branch size in residential systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation hardware for 14-inch round sheet metal duct systems constructed to ACCA and SMACNA standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal mechanics. Shut down the air handling equipment before securing or repositioning duct joints. The drawband should be seated squarely over the duct joint before tightening the gear clamp to ensure even compression around the full diameter. Follow SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes for required joint fastening and sealing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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: 28 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gear Clamp\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_14IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284020461874,"sku":"96-28GA_14IN","price":33.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277023.jpg?v=1781066268","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-96-28ga_14in-duct-draw-band-28ga-14-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
