Southwark Metal SPCON-26GA_8IN Spiral Pipe Coupling 26 Gauge 8 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL SPCON-26GA_8IN is a sheet metal spiral pipe connector coupling used to join sections of round spiral ductwork in forced-air HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot-dip galvanized steel at 26 gauge, this coupling provides a secure mechanical connection between adjoining duct sections. The galvanized coating resists corrosion in both supply and return air applications. At 8 inches in diameter, this fitting is sized for mid-range residential and light commercial duct runs. HVAC sheet metal mechanics and duct installers are the primary trades working with this type of fitting on new construction and retrofit projects.

This coupling is suited for round spiral duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling applications. It connects two lengths of 8-inch spiral pipe end to end, maintaining consistent airflow cross-section through the joint. Typical install scenarios include trunk-to-branch transitions, duct extensions, and repairs to existing spiral duct systems. Compliance with ACCA and SMACNA standards makes this fitting appropriate for jobs where duct system performance and installation quality standards must be documented.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in conditioned-air environments
• 26-gauge material thickness meets SMACNA and ACCA fabrication standards
• 8-inch diameter fits standard round spiral duct used in mid-range residential and light commercial systems
• Connector coupling design maintains consistent internal duct diameter at the joint
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards for duct system installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard connector for 8-inch round spiral ductwork installations conforming to ACCA and SMACNA guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC sheet metal mechanic or duct installer in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical code requirements. Power down the air handling unit and confirm the system is not pressurized before cutting into or modifying existing ductwork. Secure the coupling with sheet metal screws at the joint and seal all connections with UL 181-listed duct tape or mastic sealant as required by code. Do not force the coupling onto out-of-round or damaged duct ends.
