Value Collection 10103245 Galvanized Round Pipe 3in Id 24in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10103245 is a 26-gauge galvanized round pipe section used in HVAC ductwork, ventilation, and general sheet metal applications. The pipe measures 3 inches inside diameter and 24 inches in overall length, making it a standard straight section for connecting or extending round duct runs. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for supply and exhaust air systems. HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers install this type of pipe as part of residential and light commercial duct assemblies. At 1.59 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-person handling during installation.

This pipe section is used in residential and light commercial ventilation and duct distribution systems where 3-inch round duct is specified. Typical applications include bathroom exhaust, range hood venting, dryer duct rough-in, and supply or return air branch runs. The 24-inch length fits standard rough-in scenarios and can be cut to length in the field with sheet metal snips or a pipe cutter. HVAC and sheet metal contractors keep this size on hand for service calls and new construction duct runs requiring short straight sections.

Key Features

• 24-inch length provides a full straight section for branch runs or connections
• 26-gauge galvanized steel resists corrosion in typical HVAC environments
• Lightweight at 1.59 pounds for easy single-person handling and overhead installation
• Compatible with standard sheet metal fittings, elbows, and take-offs for 3-inch round duct

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size straight section compatible with 3-inch round duct fittings, collars, and sheet metal connectors used in residential and light commercial HVAC and ventilation systems.

Installation Notes

This pipe is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal workers following local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down and de-energize any associated air handling equipment before cutting into or modifying an existing duct system. Secure joints with sheet metal screws and seal with UL-listed foil tape or duct mastic to maintain system integrity. Use sheet metal snips or a pipe cutter for field trimming; avoid leaving sharp cut edges exposed near accessible areas.
