The math isn't working out for me. Instead of $5.99 for a 4" plastic

on materials to make one.


Granted, for plastic it may not make sense, but if you're using metal,
it would be cost effective just making 1 or 2 Ys. IF you need special
sizes it may make sense as well, such as a 6x6x4.


Yes, I think the odd size is the real value. I have a main duct of 5",
but want to Y into it with 4" runs to individual tools. Is this just a
butt fit? Is the tape the only mechanical link between the pieces, and
how smooth is the joint versus a soldered joint?
