Southwark Metal SL24-24GA_6IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 24GA 6in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-24GA_6IN is a hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in low-pressure ductwork and HVAC air distribution systems. Manufactured to 24 gauge material thickness, it measures 6 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length. The snap-lock seam allows for fast field assembly without additional fasteners at the longitudinal joint. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this pipe to build or extend straight duct runs in residential and light commercial forced-air systems. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, it is suited for supply and return trunk-to-branch transitions and straight-run applications.

This pipe is appropriate for residential and light commercial HVAC duct installations where round galvanized ductwork is specified. The 6-inch diameter is a common size for branch runs serving individual zones or supply registers. It is typically used in attic, crawlspace, basement, and mechanical room installations where round pipe offers easier routing than rectangular duct. The 24-inch length provides a manageable section for cutting, fitting, and joining to elbows, tees, or collars on site.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in humid or unconditioned spaces
• 24 gauge material thickness provides structural rigidity for standard duct applications
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly and eliminates the need for seam fasteners
• 6-inch diameter fits standard branch duct fittings used in forced-air systems
• 24-inch section length suits most straight-run and transitional layout needs
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for standard 6-inch round galvanized duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and isolate the duct section before cutting into existing ductwork. Seal all longitudinal and circumferential joints with listed duct sealant or UL 181-rated tape per SMACNA guidelines. Support spacing and hanger requirements should follow SMACNA recommendations for the duct size and application.
