Southwark Metal TD_10X8X60 Sheet Metal Trunk Duct 10x8x60

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL TD_10X8X60 is a rectangular sheet metal trunk duct section used to distribute conditioned air through forced-air HVAC systems. Fabricated from hot dip galvanized steel, this duct measures 10 inches by 8 inches in cross-section and 60 inches in length. It features a button snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection ends for fast, secure field assembly without additional fasteners. Cross-breaking is applied to the flat panels to add rigidity and reduce oil-canning under system pressure. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics install this type of duct in residential and light commercial supply-air trunk systems.

This trunk duct section is suited for main supply trunk runs in forced-air heating and cooling systems where a 10-inch by 8-inch rectangular profile is specified. Typical applications include new construction rough-in and replacement of deteriorated or damaged duct sections in attic, basement, and crawlspace installations. The 60-inch length accommodates standard bay spacing and reduces the number of joints required in a straight run. Assembly follows SMACNA and ACCA duct construction standards, making it appropriate for jobs where inspected ductwork is required.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in unconditioned spaces
• Button snap-lock seam provides a secure, tool-free longitudinal closure
• S-cleat and drive connection ends allow fast joint assembly with adjacent duct sections or fittings
• Cross-broken flat panels add stiffness and reduce noise from panel flexing under airflow pressure
• 60-inch section length minimizes joint count in long straight trunk runs
• Manufactured to SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction trunk duct section for residential and light commercial forced-air supply systems requiring a 10-inch by 8-inch rectangular duct profile with S-cleat and drive end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before cutting into or joining existing ductwork. Use appropriate sheet metal snips, a drive tool, and S-cleat crimpers to complete end connections; seal all joints with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape as required by code. Support the duct at intervals specified by SMACNA guidelines to prevent sagging and joint separation over time.
