Key Features
Applications
GI Round Pipe in the UAE — Ductwork for Every HVAC Installation
GI round pipe is the standard galvanized-iron round ductwork used across HVAC air distribution systems in the UAE — from commercial office towers in Dubai to hotel ventilation risers, industrial warehouses, and restaurant kitchen exhaust. Falcon Link TR supplies GI round pipe in diameters from 100mm to 1200mm, cut and dispatched same-day from our Sharjah warehouse to MEP and HVAC contractors across all seven emirates. أنابيب الحديد المجلفن الدائرية هي المعيار المعتمد لتوزيع الهواء في أنظمة التكييف والتهوية في دولة الإمارات.
Spiral-Formed and Straight-Seam Construction
We stock both spiral-formed and straight (longitudinal-seam) GI round pipe. Spiral duct is the preferred choice for long straight duct runs — the helical seam adds rigidity per kilogram of sheet metal compared to straight-seam pipe, meaning a lighter gauge can carry the same structural load while reducing the number of joints (and therefore leak paths) along a riser. Straight-seam pipe remains the practical choice for short branch connections, transition pieces, and site conditions where a straight-seam section is easier to fabricate on-site.
Manufactured to SMACNA / DW144 Standards
All GI round pipe is manufactured to SMACNA and DW144 ductwork construction standards, with gauge thickness selected per diameter following standard pressure-class tables. Smaller diameters up to roughly 300mm are typically supplied in 26 gauge, mid-range diameters step up to 24 gauge, and larger risers or higher-pressure applications are supplied in 22 gauge or heavier. Every section is manufactured with the correct wall thickness for its intended duct pressure class — undersized gauge on a large-diameter riser is a common cause of duct oil-canning and vibration noise, and our team checks diameter, gauge, and pressure class together before cutting.
Standard Lengths and Custom Cutting
Standard stock lengths are 1.2m and 3m, with custom-cut lengths available for non-standard riser heights or branch runs. All sections are compatible with standard slip, coupling, and flanged duct connections used across UAE mechanical contracting practice. For active MEP sites, we offer same-day cutting and dispatch on standard diameters and next-day delivery on custom-cut orders, so ducting materials arrive on schedule with the rest of the mechanical installation sequence.
Bulk Supply for MEP and HVAC Contractors
Falcon Link TR is ISO 9001:2015 certified and supplies GI round pipe on a wholesale and bulk basis to mechanical contractors, HVAC subcontractors, and facilities-management teams across the UAE. Pricing varies by diameter, gauge, and order volume — contact us with your bill of quantities for a project-specific quotation, or set up LPO-based account ordering for recurring supply across multiple sites.

Use Cases
MEP Contractor Duct Riser Installation
GI round pipe supplied in bulk lengths for vertical duct risers on commercial tower fit-outs, cut to consultant-specified diameter and gauge with same-day dispatch to keep the mechanical installation schedule on track.
Spiral Duct Retrofit on Occupied Buildings
Round spiral duct sections installed in occupied hotel and office ceilings during phased retrofit works, chosen for faster installation and fewer joints than rectangular duct in tight ceiling voids.
HORECA Kitchen Exhaust Ducting
Heavier-gauge GI round pipe supplied for restaurant kitchen exhaust runs, sized to UAE civil defence extraction requirements and paired with matching dampers and terminal fittings from our AC & HVAC Materials range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What diameters of GI round pipe do you stock in the UAE?
We stock and cut GI round duct pipe from 100mm to 1200mm diameter, manufactured to SMACNA / DW144 ductwork standards. Both spiral-formed and straight-seam construction are available. For diameters or gauges outside standard stock, we manufacture to order from our Sharjah facility with short lead times for MEP contractors.
What gauge thickness is used for GI round pipe ductwork?
Gauge thickness is selected per diameter following SMACNA pressure-class tables — smaller diameters (up to ~300mm) typically use 26 gauge, mid-range diameters 24 gauge, and larger risers or high-pressure applications step up to 22 gauge or heavier. We confirm the correct gauge against your mechanical consultant's specification before cutting.
Do you supply spiral duct or only straight-seam round pipe?
Both. Spiral-formed round duct is our standard recommendation for long straight runs — it has fewer joints, higher rigidity per kg of material, and faster installation. Straight-seam (longitudinal) pipe remains available for shorter branch sections and where site conditions require it.
Can you deliver GI round pipe to active MEP sites across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver from our Sharjah warehouse to mechanical contract sites across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all UAE emirates, with same-day dispatch for standard diameters and next-day delivery for custom-cut lengths. Account-based ordering with LPO purchasing is available for MEP and HVAC contractors running multiple sites.
