Default How to hook up a dust collector in this circumstance.

Hi,

I need a bit of help with hooking up a dust collector. As it stands
right now my ducts will run in an 'L' pattern, 10' on each length. The
DC will be where the 10' lengths meet.

I'm using spiral ducts hanging from the ceiling. Do I use a 'T'
connector where the 2 10' lengths meet and drop down another spiral
down to the DC. I'm wondering how to handle the 90 degree transition.

Thanks

Alex



Use a "Y" connector for better flow. Spiral pipe has more turbulence
than PVC, so use it sparingly.
