The section measures 28 inches by 8 inches in cross-section and runs 48 inches in length. It features button snap-lock construction with an S-cleat and drive connection for secure field assembly, along with cross breaking on the flat panels to resist oil-canning and maintain structural rigidity under airflow pressure. Licensed HVAC sheet metal mechanics and ductwork installers handle this type of trunk section on both new-construction and retrofit jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis trunk duct section is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air supply systems where a low-profile rectangular main trunk is required. The 28 x 8 inch profile fits applications with restricted ceiling cavity depth or between-joist installations. The S-cleat and drive connection system allows the section to join to adjacent trunk sections or to transitions and fittings using standard sheet metal drive cleats and S-clips, which are common in SMACNA-compliant ductwork layouts. Installers working to ACCA Manual D airflow calculations or SMACNA construction standards will find this section meets those applicable standards directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term duct system service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButton snap-lock seam with S-cleat and drive connection for fast, secure field assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-broken flat panels reduce oil-canning and increase panel stiffness under static pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e28 x 8 inch cross-section suits low-clearance residential trunk runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e48-inch section length minimizes joint count in long trunk runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ACCA and SMACNA applicable standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction trunk duct section for rectangular forced-air HVAC supply systems using standard S-cleat and drive connections.

Shut down and lock out the air handler or furnace before connecting or modifying any trunk duct section in a live system. Drive cleats and S-clips should be fully seated and crimped on all four sides of each joint; all seams and joints should be sealed with listed duct mastic or UL 181-rated tape per local energy code. Support the trunk duct at intervals consistent with SMACNA hanger and support requirements to prevent sagging and joint separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Dip Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Size A)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight (Size B)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Button Snap-Lock with S-Cleat and Drive Connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cross Broken\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCA, SMACNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TD_28X8X48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284089176370,"sku":"TD_28X8X48","price":72.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309277264.jpg?v=1781068272","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-td_28x8x48-sheet-metal-trunk-duct-28x8x48","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
