Manufactured to 26 gauge material thickness with an 18-inch diameter and 24-inch length, this snap-lock pipe section provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant airflow path in residential and light commercial ductwork. The galvanized steel construction meets SMACNA and ACCA fabrication standards, making it a code-compliant choice for forced-air supply and return trunk or branch runs. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators are the primary trades working with this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe section is suited for round duct systems in residential new construction, HVAC retrofit projects, and light commercial forced-air installations. The 18-inch diameter is commonly used in main supply or return trunk runs where higher airflow volumes are required. The snap-lock seam speeds field assembly and reduces the need for additional fasteners along the longitudinal seam during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in air handling environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26 gauge material thickness suitable for standard low-pressure HVAC duct applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-inch diameter accommodates high-volume airflow trunk and branch runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch pipe length for consistent, manageable field installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnap-lock end type allows fast, secure longitudinal seam closure without separate fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplies with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style component for round galvanized sheet metal duct systems meeting SMACNA and ACCA standards for low-pressure forced-air HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal worker in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and isolate the duct system before cutting into existing ductwork or making connections. Joints should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local code requirements. Use appropriate sheet metal snips, hand seamers, and crimping tools when cutting or joining sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Snap-Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SL24-26GA_18IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284096450866,"sku":"SL24-26GA_18IN","price":32.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309276925.jpg?v=1781068495","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-sl24-26ga_18in-round-sheet-metal-pipe-18in-26ga","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
