Southwark Metal TD_14X12X48 Sheet Metal Trunk Duct 14x12x48

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL TD_14X12X48 is a hot dip galvanized steel sheet metal trunk duct section measuring 14 inches by 12 inches by 48 inches. It is designed for use in forced-air HVAC distribution systems as a main supply trunk line section. The duct features a button snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection for fast, secure assembly in the field. Cross-broken panels add rigidity and reduce oil-canning across the flat duct faces. Licensed sheet metal contractors and HVAC installers work with this component during new construction and retrofit duct system installations.

This trunk duct section is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems where rectangular sheet metal ductwork is specified. The 14 x 12 inch cross-section accommodates moderate-to-high airflow trunk runs. It is fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, making it appropriate for jobs where compliance with duct system design and construction guidelines is required. The 48-inch length allows efficient layout of straight trunk runs with minimal joints.

Key Features

• Hot dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in conditioned and unconditioned spaces
• Button snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection for secure field assembly without additional fasteners
• Cross-broken panel faces for increased rigidity and reduced deflection under system pressure
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• 14 x 12 inch cross-section in a 48-inch length suits main trunk duct applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for rectangular sheet metal trunk duct systems using standard S-cleat and drive connections in forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed sheet metal contractor or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling system before connecting or modifying existing ductwork. S-cleat and drive connections should be fully seated and sealed per project specifications to minimize air leakage. Support hangers should be spaced per SMACNA guidelines for the duct size and weight.
