Southwark Metal SL24-26GA_9IN Round Pipe 26 Gauge 9 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-26GA_9IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round sheet metal pipe used in low-pressure residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. It measures 9 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, with a snap-lock seam for fast field assembly without additional fasteners. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, this pipe maintains the dimensional consistency and rigidity that sheet metal mechanics depend on when building or extending supply and return trunk systems. HVAC installers and sheet metal contractors use this pipe where a durable, code-compliant round duct section is required.

This galvanized round pipe is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications. It is a standard component in trunk-and-branch duct layouts, connecting to fittings, elbows, and take-offs that share the same 9-inch diameter. The snap-lock end type allows for quick assembly on the job site, reducing installation time during rough-in or duct modification work. It is appropriate for supply and return air distribution in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

Key Features

• 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned air environments
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly without extra hardware
• 9-inch diameter x 24-inch length fits standard round duct fittings of the same size
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• Round profile suitable for supply and return air distribution runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round duct pipe section compatible with standard 9-inch diameter snap-lock round duct fittings and components used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling unit before making connections to an active duct system. Secure joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed tape or mastic as required by code. Avoid over-stressing the snap-lock seam during handling to maintain the factory-formed joint integrity.
