Southwark Metal SL24-26GA_7IN Galvanized Round Pipe 26 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-26GA_7IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Measuring 7 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, this snap-lock pipe is fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it a reliable component for supply and return trunk line extensions, branch runs, and duct system assemblies. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors rely on this gauge and diameter for balanced airflow distribution in forced-air heating and cooling applications.

This pipe section is suited for low-pressure round duct systems in residential new construction, retrofit, and replacement work. Its snap-lock end type allows for straightforward field assembly without specialized tooling. The 7-inch diameter fits common branch and trunk configurations in single-family and light commercial installations. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards ensures the pipe meets recognized industry requirements for duct construction and air distribution performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling system before modifying or extending any duct section. Secure all connections with appropriate sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed tape or mastic as required by local code. Avoid over-compressing or distorting the snap-lock seam during handling, as this may affect the integrity of the connection.
