Southwark Metal SL24-24GA_12IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 24GA

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-24GA_12IN is a 24-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel round duct pipe section used in low-pressure sheet metal ductwork systems. Measuring 12 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, this pipe is fabricated to meet ACCA and SMACNA standards for residential and light commercial HVAC air distribution. Sheet metal workers and HVAC installers use this pipe as a straight duct section within supply or return trunk systems. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both conditioned and non-conditioned spaces, making it suitable for attic, basement, and crawlspace installations.

This round duct pipe is intended for use in forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 12-inch round duct diameter. It connects to standard round fittings, collars, and flex duct transitions in residential and light commercial applications. The 24-gauge wall thickness is appropriate for low-pressure ductwork per SMACNA standards. Typical installation locations include main supply runs, branch take-offs from plenum boxes, and inline duct sections where rigid round pipe is required in place of flexible duct.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct system performance
• 24-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA low-pressure ductwork requirements
• 12-inch diameter fits standard residential and light commercial round duct fittings and collars
• 24-inch length provides a manageable straight section for trunk runs and branch connections
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for code-compliant duct installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC ductwork systems using 12-inch round duct configurations per ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal worker or HVAC technician familiar with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and isolate the duct section before cutting into an existing system. Secure joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape as required by local code. Use appropriate tin snips, sheet metal shears, or a plasma cutter rated for 24-gauge steel when field-cutting the pipe to length.
