Southwark Metal SPCON-26GA_5IN Spiral Pipe Connector 26GA 5in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SPCON-26GA_5IN is a round spiral sheet metal connector coupling used to join sections of spiral duct in HVAC distribution systems. Fabricated from hot-dipped galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this fitting provides a secure, low-leakage connection between spiral pipe runs. The galvanized coating resists corrosion in both supply and return air applications. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use this fitting in light commercial and residential forced-air systems where spiral duct is specified for its structural rigidity and airflow efficiency. The 5 inch diameter accommodates standard 5 inch spiral duct sections.

This connector is suited for use in trunk-and-branch and extended plenum duct layouts where spiral pipe is the primary distribution method. It is installed in new construction and retrofit applications, fitting into ceiling cavities, attic runs, mechanical rooms, and exposed duct systems. The round spiral profile supports consistent airflow and simplifies alignment during installation. Sheet metal mechanics and licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers for fittings of this type.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in air distribution environments
• 26 gauge material thickness meets standard duct fabrication requirements
• 5 inch diameter fits standard spiral duct pipe sections
• Round spiral profile supports consistent airflow and structural integrity
• Meets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for 5 inch round spiral duct systems fabricated to SMACNA and ACCA specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or journeyman sheet metal mechanic. Power down the air handling system before working on any duct connections. Fittings should be secured with sheet metal screws and sealed with duct mastic or listed foil tape in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and applicable local mechanical codes. Do not use duct tape not rated for HVAC applications as a primary sealant.
