Southwark Metal SL60-26GA_9IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 26GA 9in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-26GA_9IN is a 26-gauge hot dip galvanized steel round pipe section designed for low-pressure HVAC duct systems. Measuring 9 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, it features a snap-lock seam for fast, tool-minimal assembly on the job. The hot dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in both conditioned and unconditioned space installs. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers use this pipe to build supply and return trunk-and-branch systems in residential and light commercial applications.

This round pipe section is suited for forced-air duct systems where round pipe is specified in the supply or return air distribution layout. It is manufactured to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for use in systems designed and installed to those widely adopted duct construction guidelines. Typical installs include attic, basement, crawlspace, and mechanical room runs where a 9-inch diameter round duct section is called for in the duct design.

Key Features

• 26-gauge hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Snap-lock seam design speeds field assembly without specialized tooling
• 9-inch diameter, 60-inch length for straightforward run installations
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct construction
• Round pipe profile supports efficient airflow in standard duct layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for residential and light commercial forced-air duct systems built to ACCA and SMACNA duct construction standards where 9-inch diameter round pipe is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC sheet metal mechanic or licensed HVAC contractor. Shut down the air handling unit and de-energize the system before connecting or modifying duct sections. Snap-lock pipe should be fully engaged and secured with sheet metal screws per SMACNA guidelines, and joints should be sealed with UL 181-listed tape or mastic appropriate to the duct system classification. Follow local mechanical codes and SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction Standards for support spacing and hanging requirements.
