Southwark Metal SL24-26GA_8IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 8in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-26GA_8IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, it provides a straight duct run for supply or return air distribution. The snap-lock seam allows field assembly without additional fasteners at the longitudinal joint. This pipe is fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant forced-air system installations handled by licensed sheet metal and HVAC technicians.

This pipe section is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light commercial ventilation applications where round duct is specified. It fits into standard 8-inch round duct systems and connects to compatible fittings, collars, and transitions of the same diameter. The 24-inch length makes it practical for short straight runs, plenum connections, and branch takeoffs in attic, crawlspace, or basement installations.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical duct environments
• 26-gauge material thickness meets common SMACNA specifications for low-pressure round duct
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly along the longitudinal joint
• 8-inch diameter x 24-inch length suits standard branch and trunk duct configurations
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for standard 8-inch round galvanized duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or sheet metal technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Secure all joints with approved sheet metal screws and seal with listed duct mastic or metal-backed tape per local code requirements. Support the pipe at intervals consistent with SMACNA hanger spacing guidelines for the installation environment. Always de-energize the air handling system before working inside an active duct system.
