Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_12IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_12IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round sheet metal pipe used in low-pressure HVAC duct systems. Measuring 12 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, this snap-lock pipe is designed for supply and return air distribution in residential and light commercial installations. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for both conditioned and unconditioned spaces. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct fabricators use this pipe as a core component in trunk-and-branch and radial duct layouts.

This pipe is appropriate for round duct systems in residential new construction, retrofit, and commercial HVAC applications. It meets ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it a compliant choice for projects where duct system design and construction must follow recognized industry guidelines. The 12-inch diameter is commonly specified for main branch runs and larger supply trunk sections where higher airflow volumes are required.

Key Features

• 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Snap-lock end type for fast field assembly without additional fasteners
• 60-inch length reduces the number of joints in a run, minimizing potential leakage points
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct construction
• 12-inch diameter accommodates higher-volume airflow branch and trunk runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round duct pipe for use in ACCA- and SMACNA-compliant low-pressure HVAC sheet metal duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal mechanic or HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling equipment before connecting or modifying any duct sections. Snap-lock seams should be fully engaged and joints sealed with UL 181-listed mastic or tape as required by the project specifications. Support spacing and hanger methods should follow SMACNA guidelines for round duct.
