Southwark Metal TD_10X8X48 Sheet Metal Trunk Duct 10x8x48

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL TD_10X8X48 is a rectangular sheet metal trunk duct section fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel for long-term corrosion resistance in forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 10 inches by 8 inches by 48 inches, this duct section uses a button snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection for secure, field-ready assembly. Cross-broken panel faces add rigidity and reduce oil-canning under pressure. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this component as part of supply or return trunk lines in residential and light commercial air distribution systems.

This trunk duct section is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial applications where rectangular ductwork is specified per ACCA Manual D design or SMACNA standards. It is commonly installed as a straight-run trunk section connecting to air handlers, furnaces, or plenum boxes. The 48-inch length accommodates standard joist bay spacing and typical duct layout grids. S-cleat and drive connections allow it to join to adjacent duct sections or fittings using standard sheet metal assembly practices.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• Button snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection for fast, secure field assembly
• Cross-broken panel faces reduce flexing and oil-canning under airflow pressure
• 48-inch length suits standard residential and light commercial duct layout spacing
• Compliant with ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for rectangular trunk duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations following ACCA and SMACNA standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor. De-energize the air handling system and shut off the furnace or air handler before connecting or modifying ductwork. Use appropriate sheet metal tools including drive cleat sets, S-cleat crimpers, and aviation snips for proper fitting and sealing. All duct joints should be sealed per local mechanical code requirements to minimize air leakage.
