Southwark Metal SL24-30GA_8IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 30GA 8in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL24-30GA_8IN is a hot dip galvanized steel round sheet metal pipe section designed for low-pressure air distribution ductwork in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Formed from 30 gauge galvanized steel, this pipe measures 8 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length. The snap-lock seam construction allows for fast field assembly without additional fasteners along the longitudinal joint. This section is installed by HVAC sheet metal mechanics and ductwork installers as part of trunk-and-branch or radial duct layouts.

This pipe section is suited for supply and return air duct runs in forced-air heating and cooling systems. Its round cross-section delivers lower resistance to airflow compared to equivalent flat-oval or rectangular duct configurations. The hot dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance appropriate for both conditioned space and attic installations. Applications include new construction duct systems and replacement sections in existing residential or light commercial forced-air systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 30 gauge material thickness for standard residential duct applications
• 8 inch diameter round profile for efficient airflow
• 24 inch length provides a standard duct section for layout flexibility
• Snap-lock seam for fast, tool-minimal field assembly
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction component for round duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA standards, compatible with standard 8 inch round duct fittings, collars, and takeoffs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm zero airflow before cutting into or modifying an existing duct system. Secure pipe sections with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape per code requirements. Support horizontal runs at intervals specified by SMACNA guidelines to prevent sagging.
