Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_5IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 5in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_5IN is a round snap-lock galvanized sheet metal pipe used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, it measures 5 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length. The snap-lock seam construction allows sections to be assembled quickly without additional fasteners at the longitudinal joint. This pipe is a standard component in low-pressure supply and return air trunk-and-branch duct layouts and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors.

This round pipe is suited for forced-air heating and cooling duct systems in residential construction and light commercial applications. It conforms to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant duct installations. The 5-inch diameter is a common size for branch runs feeding individual supply registers. Installers working with standard fittings, elbows, and takeoffs in the same diameter and gauge will find this pipe compatible with typical Southwark and compatible galvanized duct fitting lines.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in attic, crawlspace, and basement duct installations
• 26 gauge material thickness meets SMACNA standards for low-pressure duct applications
• Snap-lock seam allows fast field assembly without separate longitudinal fasteners
• 5-inch diameter is a standard branch-run size compatible with common registers and fittings
• 60-inch length reduces the number of joints required in longer straight runs
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style galvanized round pipe section for use in low-pressure forced-air HVAC duct systems requiring 5-inch diameter, 26 gauge snap-lock round pipe meeting ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling system and, where applicable, disconnect power to the air handler before modifying duct sections. Secure joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local code requirements. Avoid over-deflecting or kinking the pipe during handling, as deformation reduces airflow performance and structural integrity of the duct run.
