Where in the SMACNA manual do I find the gauge requirements for +4" WG static pressure duct?

Look inside the SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction Standards (Metal and Flexible) , specifically under Chapter 2 (Rectangular Duct Construction). Reference the specific structural engineering evaluation tables matching your absolute duct width dimensions against the designated +4" Water Gauge (WG) static pressure column matrix to find the required metal thickness gauge and structural reinforcing schedule needed.
