Grizzly G0440 2 HP Cyclone Dust Collector intake question

[Robert Dunaway]

The listed intake size for the Griz is 7". What's the easiest way to run a transition? Is there already a 7" to 6" reducer? Is there a 7" to 4" T or Y already available to drop down to machinery?

I'd prefer PVC over metal.

Thanks!

I used a 7" elbow coupling at the DC, connected to a 3' length of 7" snaplock, with a 7" to 6" reducer into a wye - all galvanized (the 3' length, reducer and elbow were found at Lowes for about $17). Seeing as how the same in PVC would be considerable more, you may want to consider going metal then branching to PVC if you're set on using it.
