Constructed from hot dip galvanized steel at 28 gauge, this gear-clamp-style draw band is sized for 8-inch round ductwork. It is used in low-pressure forced-air distribution systems and is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics during new construction, system retrofits, or duct repair work. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior mechanical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis draw band is intended for use on 8-inch round sheet metal duct connections in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It is suited for supply and return trunk-to-branch connections, duct collar tie-ins, and similar round-duct joining applications where a mechanically tight, code-acceptable closure is required. It conforms to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication and assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in mechanical room and attic environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 gauge material thickness meets standard sheet metal duct fitting specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear clamp draw band design provides uniform, even clamping pressure around the duct circumference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized specifically for 8-inch round duct connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style draw band for 8-inch round sheet metal duct systems assembled per ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics following SMACNA duct construction standards. Ensure the duct sections are fully seated before tightening the draw band to achieve an airtight joint. Mastic sealant or listed duct tape may be applied at the joint in accordance with local mechanical code requirements before or after clamping. Power down the air handling system before accessing duct connections in an active system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 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: 28 Gauge\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: 96-28GA_8IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284024197426,"sku":"96-28GA_8IN","price":19.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309276995.jpg?v=1781066397","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-96-28ga_8in-duct-draw-band-28-gauge-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
