Southwark Metal SL24-26GA_3IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 3in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-26GA_3IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in low-pressure HVAC duct systems. It measures 3 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length with a snap-lock seam construction for fast field assembly. The hot-dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room installations. This pipe section is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors building or extending supply and return air distribution systems in residential and light commercial applications.

This round pipe is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems where a 3-inch diameter branch or trunk run is required. The snap-lock end connection integrates with standard round fittings, elbows, and take-offs used in conventional sheet metal ductwork. It is commonly used in supply branch runs off main trunk lines in gas furnace, heat pump, and air handler systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding install environments
• 26-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA standards for low-pressure round duct applications
• Snap-lock seam end type allows fast, tool-minimal field assembly
• 3-inch diameter by 24-inch length fits standard branch duct layouts
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for residential and light commercial round sheet metal duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors. Power down the air handler or furnace and close the supply air dampers before extending or modifying any duct section. Snap-lock seams should be fully engaged and sealed with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant per SMACNA duct construction standards. Sheet metal shears, snips, and a hand seamer are typical tools for field fitting and trimming.
