Bill P. shows how to bend PVC. My inlet to the cyclone will come up
through the floor and then need to make a 115 degree turn to enter the
cyclone at the correct angle. I plan to try and make this special
bend by heating and bending outside of the house and use a 24" radius.

I did like likewise, but was able to ask for a larger radius 90.
Those babies are expensive. Your dual 45 will be much less, but I
have a situation that really needs the 90, so I am planning to use it.

I have now ordered the clear cyclone, 170 feet of 6" S&D PVC, and a
bunch of wyes, 45's, and 90's

I bought all my 6" S&D fitting from the local Locke Supply. The only 1/4 bends
(90 deg.) available from them were very tight - almost square corners - and
unusable for DC ducting. I wound up using two 1/8 bends (45 deg) and a short
length of pipe to make my 90's. If you found sweeps or large radius 1/4 bends,
you might post the name/location/url of the supplier.
