Southwark Metal SL24-30GA_5IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 5in 30GA

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-30GA_5IN is a 30-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in low-pressure HVAC duct distribution systems. Measuring 5 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, this pipe is designed for snap-lock assembly, allowing fast, tool-minimal field connections. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to both supply and return air applications. HVAC sheet metal installers and ductwork contractors are the primary trades working with this type of round pipe section in residential and light commercial installations.

This round pipe section is used in forced-air duct systems where 5-inch round trunk lines or branch runs are required. Typical applications include residential gas and electric furnace systems, air handlers, and heat pump supply duct networks. The snap-lock end type speeds installation in tight mechanical rooms and attic spaces. This pipe meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for permitted ductwork installations in residential and light commercial projects.

Designed as an OEM-style round duct pipe section compatible with standard 5-inch snap-lock round duct fittings and components that conform to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Round sheet metal duct pipe is installed by licensed HVAC contractors and sheet metal workers following SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system and de-energize the air handler before beginning duct modifications. Snap-lock seams should be fully engaged along the entire length before securing connections with sheet metal screws and mastic sealant or UL 181-listed tape per local code requirements. Handle cut edges with care, as sheet metal edges are sharp.
