Southwark Metal TD_26X8X60 Sheet Metal Trunk Duct 26x8x60

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL TD_26X8X60 is a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet metal trunk duct section measuring 26 inches by 8 inches by 60 inches in length. It is designed for use in low-pressure forced-air HVAC distribution systems where a rectangular trunk duct carries conditioned air from the air handler or furnace plenum to branch takeoffs. The duct features button snap-lock assembly with S-cleat and drive connection ends, making field joining straightforward. Cross-breaking along the flat panels adds rigidity and reduces drumming under pressure. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and installers are the primary trade for this product.

This trunk duct section is suited for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems. A 26 x 8-inch profile fits supply trunk runs in attic, crawlspace, basement, and mechanical room installations where ceiling or floor joist clearance constrains duct height. The 60-inch section length allows efficient straight runs with fewer joints. The hot-dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in unconditioned spaces and meets the durability expectations of long-term duct installations. Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA standards, this section integrates with standard rectangular duct systems using conventional S-cleat and drive hardware.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in unconditioned spaces
• Button snap-lock seam assembly for fast, secure panel closure
• S-cleat and drive connection ends for standard field joining to adjacent sections and fittings
• Cross-broken panels reduce flex and drumming under system pressure
• Fabricated to ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards
• 60-inch section length minimizes joint count on straight trunk runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation trunk duct section for standard rectangular forced-air HVAC duct systems using S-cleat and drive connections in the 26 x 8-inch duct size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal mechanic in accordance with SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes. Power down the air handler or furnace before working on any connected duct section. S-cleat and drive connections require a drive tool and hand seamers for a tight, low-leakage joint. Support the duct at intervals per SMACNA hanger and support guidelines to prevent sagging and stress on joints.
