Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_16IN Round Pipe 26GA 16in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_16IN is a 16-inch diameter, 60-inch length round galvanized sheet metal pipe designed for low-pressure HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, it provides corrosion resistance and structural integrity in both supply and return air applications. The snap-lock seam construction speeds field assembly and reduces the need for additional fasteners. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this pipe as a primary trunk or branch run component in forced-air distribution systems.

This pipe is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct installations where round sheet metal distribution is specified. It is commonly installed as straight trunk runs, branch takeoffs, or extended connector sections in forced-air heating and cooling systems. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, it meets the duct construction requirements referenced in most mechanical codes. At 16 inches in diameter, it is typically used in higher-volume airflow portions of a duct system.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• 26-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA duct fabrication standards
• Snap-lock seam end type allows fast, tool-minimal field assembly
• 16-inch diameter handles high-volume airflow trunk and branch applications
• 60-inch length minimizes joint count and reduces potential leak points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round sheet metal duct component compatible with standard 16-inch round duct fittings, collars, and connectors fabricated to SMACNA and ACCA round duct construction standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA Duct Construction Standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling system before connecting or modifying duct runs. Seal all joints with UL 181-listed duct mastic or approved tape per code requirements. Support spacing and hanger sizing should comply with SMACNA guidelines for the pipe diameter and gauge.
