Southwark Metal mc-slb361826 Sheet Metal Pipe 18in 26GA

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL mc-slb361826 is a straight galvanized sheet metal pipe section used in low-pressure ductwork fabrication and HVAC air distribution systems. Manufactured from 26-gauge steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this pipe measures 18 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both exposed and concealed duct runs. HVAC sheet metal contractors and mechanical installers use this pipe as a primary component in round duct systems for residential and light commercial applications.

This pipe section is suited for round duct trunk lines, branch takeoffs, and straight duct runs in forced-air heating and cooling systems. The 26-gauge wall thickness is standard for low-velocity HVAC ductwork in residential and light commercial construction. Installers fabricate and assemble these sections with standard sheet metal fittings, connectors, and duct tape or sealant to complete air distribution layouts.

Key Features

• 18-inch diameter accommodates large-volume trunk duct runs in commercial and residential systems
• 36-inch length provides a standard section for layout planning and fabrication
• 26-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Galvanized finish meets standard requirements for exposed and concealed HVAC ductwork installations
• Compatible with standard round duct fittings, collars, and connectors used in sheet metal duct systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round sheet metal duct pipe section for use in low-pressure forced-air HVAC systems requiring 18-inch round ductwork.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Disconnect and lock out all air handling equipment before cutting, fitting, or securing duct sections. Joints should be sealed with listed duct sealant or mastic and secured with sheet metal screws or approved fasteners. Support spacing must follow local code and SMACNA guidelines for the duct diameter and weight.
