There should be negative pressure inside a cyclones drop bin. With all my gates closed I am pulling 20 inches water column at the intake of the cyclone. This is about 0.7 pounds of force per square inch. My DC would crush a Rubbermaid trash pale. I would have almost no problem picking up a 16lbs. bowling ball with 5 inch pipe.
You do want to illuminate as many leaks as possible, between the trash bin and blower side of the cyclone. If you don’t the finest dust Will make it through to the filter.
Right now the main line is 6" and is about 10' long. The end splits with a Y running with two 26" long sections of 6" tubing. Those run into splitter boxes from Clear Vue where they split into two 4" lines each. The now four 4" tubes run about 22" to the top of the wide belt.
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.
