Southwark Metal SL24-24GA_16IN Round Pipe 24GA 16in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-24GA_16IN is a round galvanized sheet metal pipe section used in forced-air HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized steel at 24 gauge, it measures 16 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length. This pipe section connects to standard round ductwork fittings and is sized for trunk lines, branch runs, and equipment connections in residential and light commercial installations. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct fabricators rely on this type of pipe to build and extend supply and return air distribution systems. Construction meets ACCA and SMACNA standards for duct fabrication.

This pipe section is suited for round duct systems in residential forced-air heating and cooling applications, as well as light commercial HVAC installations where SMACNA-compliant galvanized ductwork is specified. The 16-inch diameter accommodates higher-volume trunk or main supply runs. It can be used with standard round duct fittings including elbows, tees, reducers, and collars. Sheet metal contractors and HVAC installers use sections like this during new construction, renovation, or duct extension work.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air environments
• 24 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA duct fabrication standards
• 16-inch diameter accommodates high-volume supply or return trunk runs
• 24-inch section length for straightforward duct layout and measurement
• Round profile compatible with standard duct fittings, collars, and connectors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use component for round galvanized duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA specifications. Compatible with standard 16-inch round duct fittings and connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit and close all dampers before modifying or extending an active duct system. Secure connections with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct sealant or foil tape to maintain system pressure integrity. Do not compress or deform the pipe section during handling, as this may affect airflow performance and fitting connections.
