SKU KD-SD-T36

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The SD-T36 is a 36-inch rigid metal air sampling tube for Kidde SuperDuct duct smoke detectors. It draws air from the HVAC duct into the detector's sensing chamber, providing reliable smoke detection across standard commercial duct widths up to 36 inches.

Built for the commercial installer

Standard sampling tube spacing means the SD-T36 drops into any SuperDuct housing without modification - same hole pattern, same mounting. Compatible with both two-wire (SD-2W series) and four-wire (SD-4W series) SuperDuct conventional duct smoke detectors. The tube installs from either the duct side or the sensor compartment side of the housing, with or without the detector cover in place, and rotates in 45-degree increments for proper alignment with duct airflow.

Key features

  • 36-inch reach covers standard commercial duct widths
  • Front-side or back-side installation - no need to open the detector housing
  • 45-degree rotation increments for proper alignment with duct airflow direction
  • Standard spacing for drop-in migration from other duct detector sampling tubes
  • Rigid metal construction for long-term durability in HVAC environments

Compatibility

Works with Kidde SuperDuct two-wire (SD-2W) and four-wire (SD-4W) conventional duct smoke detectors. For wider ducts, longer sampling tubes are available (SD-T42, SD-T60, SD-T78, SD-T120).

FAQs

What duct smoke detectors does the SD-T36 work with?
Compatible with Kidde SuperDuct two-wire (SD-2W series) and four-wire (SD-4W series) conventional duct smoke detectors. The standard sampling tube socket fits all SuperDuct housing variants.
What size duct does the SD-T36 cover?
The 36-inch tube is designed for ducts up to approximately 36 inches wide. For wider ducts, Kidde offers longer sampling tubes: SD-T42 (42 in.), SD-T60 (60 in.), SD-T78 (78 in.), and SD-T120 (120 in.).
Can I install this without removing the detector cover?
Yes. The sampling tube installs from either the duct side or the sensor compartment side of the housing, with or without the cover in place. Rotate in 45-degree increments to align with duct airflow direction.
Which way do the air inlet holes face?
The inlet holes on the sampling tube must face into the airstream. Rotate the tube in 45-degree increments until the holes are oriented toward the direction of airflow inside the duct.
