Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_10IN Round Galvanized Pipe 26GA 10in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_10IN is a round, snap-lock galvanized sheet metal pipe designed for low-pressure air distribution in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this pipe measures 10 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length. The snap-lock seam allows for fast, secure assembly without additional fasteners, making it a practical choice for HVAC installers working through trunk-and-branch or radial duct layouts. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material quality expected on professional installations.

This pipe section is suited for supply and return air trunk lines, branch runs, and transitions in forced-air HVAC systems. The 10-inch diameter is commonly used in main supply runs serving residential systems or smaller commercial applications. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers use this pipe when constructing new duct systems or replacing sections of existing galvanized ductwork. The 60-inch length reduces the number of joints needed on longer straight runs, improving airflow consistency and reducing potential leak points.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room environments
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly and eliminates the need for separate seam fasteners
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA standards for low-pressure residential and light commercial duct systems
• 10-inch diameter suits main supply trunk lines and larger branch runs
• 60-inch length minimizes joint count on straight duct runs
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for standard round galvanized sheet metal duct systems conforming to ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling unit before connecting or modifying any section of ductwork. Seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or approved foil tape after assembly to meet code requirements and minimize air leakage. Support spacing should follow SMACNA hanger and support recommendations for round duct of this diameter and gauge.
