Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_3IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 3in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_3IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe section used in low-pressure HVAC ductwork systems. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, this pipe is fabricated with a snap-lock seam for straightforward field assembly. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for supply and return air distribution in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and ductwork installers are the primary tradespeople who specify and install this product.

This round pipe section fits into standard residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC duct systems where 3-inch diameter round duct runs are required. It is commonly used for branch runouts from trunk lines to supply registers or for dedicated exhaust and ventilation duct pathways. The 60-inch length reduces the number of joints needed in longer straight runs. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, it is suited for systems designed and installed in compliance with those industry guidelines.

Key Features

• 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in HVAC duct applications
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly without additional fasteners at the seam
• 60-inch length minimizes the number of connections in straight duct runs
• 3-inch diameter matches standard residential branch runout sizing
• Manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for standard 3-inch diameter round duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified sheet metal mechanic or licensed HVAC technician following SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air-handling unit before connecting or modifying any duct section. Secure joints with sheet metal screws and seal with listed duct sealant or foil tape per applicable energy codes. Do not use this pipe section in applications requiring pressure classes or gauge thicknesses beyond what 26-gauge galvanized steel supports under SMACNA guidelines.
