Southwark Metal 96-28GA_7IN Duct Draw Band 28 Gauge 7 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 96-28GA_7IN is a 7-inch sheet metal duct draw band manufactured from hot dip galvanized steel at 28 gauge thickness. This gear-clamp-style draw band is used to secure round sheet metal duct connections in forced-air HVAC systems. The galvanized construction resists corrosion in both residential and light commercial ductwork environments. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers reach for draw bands like this when making field connections between duct sections, fittings, and collars where a tight, reliable mechanical seal is required.

This draw band is suited for 7-inch round duct connections in supply and return air systems. It is appropriate for use in residential forced-air heating and cooling installations as well as light commercial applications where ACCA and SMACNA ductwork standards apply. The 28-gauge hot dip galvanized steel construction meets the material requirements commonly referenced in SMACNA duct construction standards, making it a practical choice for code-compliant sheet metal duct assemblies.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in ductwork environments
• 28-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA duct construction requirements
• Gear clamp draw band design provides consistent circumferential clamping force
• Sized for 7-inch round sheet metal duct connections
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7-inch round sheet metal duct sections and fittings in forced-air HVAC systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal mechanics or HVAC technicians. The duct system should be de-energized and the air handler or furnace shut down before making duct connections. Draw bands should be seated squarely over the duct joint and tightened evenly to achieve a uniform seal. Follow SMACNA duct construction guidelines and local mechanical codes for joint fastening requirements.
