I just ordered most of the ducts and fittings for my dust collection system. A few questions remain for the install that I'm hoping to resolve here. Photos are included below to give some sense of what I'm trying to accomplish. The first photo below shows a rough sketch of the layout. Along the wall where most of the drops will take place I was thinking of rolling the wye outlet about 45 deg. downward and connect the drop with an adjustable 90 deg. ell, essentially making it a rolling 45 deg. transition. I thought of doing this instead of having the wye outlet horizontal and dropping down with a straight 90 deg. ell. First of all, does anyone see any problems with this approach.

Here's a photo of the wall where most of the outlets take place. I plan to run the duct above the wall ties as close to the wall as possible.

Here's a photo of the dust collector. I have to rise up from the outlet to before getting to the wall. Would a couple of 45 deg. ells be better than using flexible hose. The size of duct at this point is 8"

And lastly here is a photo of the dust collector installed in it's temporary location before I get a chance to add on a mechanical room. I may also hook up the compressor shown for my next project, installing shop air.
