OK, so for the most part, I have my DC system figured out, for my budget.
To start, I am going to get one of the 2HP systems, and mount it in my garage, which will them be plumbed up into the workshop above.
Here are the questions or advice that I need.
First off, my plan is to run 6" pipe from the DC, and have a main trunk that basically runs around the perimeter. Off of that, I will come of with Wye's and then either 45 or 90 degree elbows will go up into the workshop. After I "poke" through the floor, I plan to install blast gates, and either flex tube, or ridigd pipe to the machines.
First - I have a local source for 6" pipe, but as we all know, the fittings are outrageous. Has anyone found an online source for these?
Second - Since I have to poke through from my garage into the workshop, has anyone found or ever use some sort of escutcheon cover, or trim piece to go over the pipe as it comes through the floor? Being a bit anal here, but I am going to have to drill or cut some sort of hole in my floor for the pipe to pass through, and I am looking for a way to clean it up when it's done.
Third - I have 2 or 3 locations where I may just run a short piece of 4" flex from the bottom of the machine right to the main trunk. The shortest piece will be less than 24", and the longest will be 36". Therefore I am looking for a 6" to 4" reducer for the pipe. Has anyone found a wye for the 6" that reduces down to 4" where needed?
Thanks to all......
