Southwark Metal SL24-26GA_10IN Galvanized Round Pipe 26GA 10in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-26GA_10IN is a hot-dip galvanized steel round sheet metal pipe section used in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Manufactured to 26 gauge material thickness, this 10-inch-diameter pipe measures 24 inches in length and features a snap-lock longitudinal seam for fast, secure field assembly without additional fasteners. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this pipe section as a core component of supply and return air trunk and branch duct systems. It meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant forced-air duct installations.

This pipe section is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light commercial HVAC applications where round galvanized ductwork is specified. The 10-inch diameter is a common branch or sub-trunk size in larger residential systems and small commercial installations. The snap-lock end type allows sequential straight runs to be assembled quickly on the job site. It is typically installed by licensed HVAC contractors and sheet metal mechanics working with standard duct layouts.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned air environments
• 26 gauge material thickness meets standard duct fabrication requirements
• Snap-lock seam allows fast longitudinal closure without rivets or additional sealant at the seam joint
• 10-inch diameter fits standard round collar fittings, trunk takeoffs, and transitions
• 24-inch length provides a convenient straight section for duct runs
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation component for standard 10-inch round galvanized duct systems conforming to SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling system before connecting or modifying duct sections. Joints should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with UL 181-listed duct sealant or approved foil tape per local code requirements. Avoid over-compressing the snap-lock seam, which can distort the pipe and affect airflow performance.
