Southwark Metal TD_24X8X60 Sheet Metal Trunk Duct 24x8x60

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL TD_24X8X60 is a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet metal trunk duct section measuring 24 inches by 8 inches by 60 inches. It is designed for use in forced-air HVAC distribution systems where a rigid rectangular main trunk is required to move conditioned air from the air handler or furnace to branch takeoffs. The duct section features button snap-lock seams with S-cleat and drive connection ends for field assembly, along with cross-breaking for panel rigidity. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and journeymen installers work with this product during new construction and retrofit duct system installations.

This trunk duct section is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where a 24-inch by 8-inch rectangular main duct run is specified. It connects in-line with matching rectangular trunk sections or transitions using standard S-cleat and drive connections. The 60-inch length is a standard trunk section size commonly specified in SMACNA and ACCA Manual D duct system designs. It is appropriate for supply or return air trunk applications depending on system layout and static pressure requirements.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in humid or unconditioned space installations
• Button snap-lock seam provides a secure, airtight longitudinal closure without additional fasteners
• S-cleat and drive connection ends allow straightforward inline assembly with adjacent duct sections
• Cross-broken panels add rigidity and reduce oil-canning across the wide 24-inch face
• Conforms to SMACNA and ACCA applicable standards for sheet metal duct fabrication
• 60-inch section length reduces the number of joints required on long trunk runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rectangular trunk duct section compatible with standard S-cleat and drive connection duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before working on the duct system. Secure S-cleat and drive connections fully and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or approved metal foil tape to meet duct leakage requirements. Support the trunk duct at intervals per SMACNA hanger and support guidelines to prevent sagging or joint separation.
