Southwark Metal sl482024 Round Snaplock Pipe Joint 24 Ga

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL sl482024 is a round snaplock pipe joint fabricated from 24-gauge galvanized steel, measuring 48 inches in length by 20 inches in diameter. It is designed for use in low-pressure HVAC duct systems where a secure, tool-light field connection is required. The snaplock seam allows sections to be joined quickly without additional fasteners, making installation faster on the job. This fitting is sold as an individual unit and is handled by sheet metal and HVAC installation contractors.

This pipe joint is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications. It serves as a straight duct section in supply or return air distribution systems where round galvanized ductwork is specified. The 20-inch diameter accommodates higher-volume trunk or branch runs, and the 48-inch length reduces the number of joints needed across longer duct runs. Installers working on new construction or retrofit projects will find the snaplock design compatible with standard round duct practices.

Key Features

• 24-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC duct environments
• Snaplock seam joint for fast, fastener-free field assembly
• 48-inch length reduces joint count in longer duct runs
• 20-inch diameter supports high-volume air distribution in trunk or large branch lines
• Sold individually (each) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians following SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down the air handling unit and close the disconnect before working inside an active duct system. Snaplock seams should be fully seated and secured with drive cleats or duct hangers per local mechanical code requirements. Do not use this fitting in systems exceeding the pressure class rating specified for 24-gauge galvanized round duct.
