Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_6IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 6in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_6IN is a 26-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round pipe designed for low-pressure duct distribution systems in residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, this pipe uses a snap-lock seam construction that allows fast, secure field assembly without additional fasteners. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for conditioned-air supply and return duct runs. HVAC sheet metal installers and duct fabricators are the primary trades working with this product.

This round pipe is used in forced-air duct systems where a straight run of 6-inch round duct is required between fittings, plenums, or branch takeoffs. It is appropriate for residential new construction, HVAC replacement projects, and light commercial ductwork installations. The 60-inch length covers standard joist bay and stud cavity runs with minimal waste. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes it suitable for inspected installations in jurisdictions that reference those guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation of sheet metal duct pipe should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal worker in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handler or furnace before connecting new duct sections to an existing system. Snap-lock seams should be fully engaged along the entire pipe length before securing with sheet metal screws and sealing all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape as required by local code. Support spacing should follow SMACNA guidelines for the pipe diameter and gauge being installed.
