Southwark Metal SPCON-26GA_12IN Spiral Pipe Connector 12 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SPCON-26GA_12IN is a 12-inch spiral pipe connector coupling fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge material thickness. It is designed to join sections of round spiral duct in low- and medium-pressure HVAC air distribution systems. The galvanized finish resists corrosion in both supply and return air applications. This type of fitting is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics during new construction, renovation, or system repair work. The 26-gauge construction meets standard industry requirements for residential and light commercial ductwork applications.

This connector is suited for round spiral duct systems commonly found in residential and light commercial HVAC installations. It serves as an inline coupling where two sections of spiral duct must be joined end to end. Typical install scenarios include trunk-and-branch duct layouts, mechanical room connections, and in-line duct extensions. The 12-inch diameter matches standard spiral pipe sizing used across forced-air heating and cooling systems.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in air distribution environments
• 26-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA ductwork fabrication standards
• 12-inch diameter fits standard spiral round duct pipe without modification
• Inline coupling design allows fast, direct connection of two spiral duct sections
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 12-inch round spiral duct systems in residential and light commercial HVAC air distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic. Power down the air handling unit and close any relevant dampers before working on the duct system. Secure the coupling with sheet metal screws and seal all joints with UL 181-listed foil tape or mastic sealant per SMACNA installation guidelines. Avoid over-driving screws through the spiral seam, which can deform the fitting and compromise the air seal.
