Southwark Metal SL60-30GA_12IN Round Sheet Metal Pipe 30GA 12in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SL60-30GA_12IN is a 30-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel round duct pipe designed for low-pressure air distribution in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. At 12 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, this snap-lock pipe provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant section for supply or return trunk and branch duct runs. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel to ACCA and SMACNA standards, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and a secure mechanical joint. HVAC sheet metal installers and mechanical contractors use this pipe where a straight, full-length run is needed before transitioning to fittings or flex.

This round pipe is suited for forced-air heating and cooling duct systems in residential construction, light commercial buildouts, and mechanical room applications. The 12-inch diameter is common in main trunk runs and larger branch feeds off air handlers and furnaces. Its 60-inch length reduces the number of joints required in a straight run, which improves airflow efficiency and lowers installation labor. The snap-lock seam allows field assembly without additional fasteners at the longitudinal seam, speeding up rough-in work.

Key Features

• 30-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned air applications
• Snap-lock seam design allows fast field assembly without longitudinal fasteners
• 12-inch diameter accommodates high-volume supply and return duct runs
• 60-inch length minimizes joint count in straight duct runs
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA fabrication standards for sheet metal ductwork

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round duct section compatible with standard 12-inch SMACNA-compliant duct fittings, collars, and connectors used in forced-air HVAC distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handling equipment before connecting or modifying any duct section. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape as required by code. Support horizontal runs at intervals specified by SMACNA guidelines to prevent sagging and joint stress.
