Hi all,
I'm finally 'hard piping' my DC system. I'm adding a super dust deputy cyclone to a Shop Fox 2 HP DC. I went to the local heating place today to price the duct work and ended up walking out with 5" and 4" pipe. After starting the conversation with "I'm looking for 26 ga. duct for a dust collecction system".
Well....I got home and found that they sold me all 30 ga. snap-lock. I'm wondering if the 30 ga. is sufficient for the system, especially the 5" (I suspect the 4" will be o.k.). Has anyone actually had an issue with 30 ga. collapsing? FWIW, I'll have a total run of less than 20' of 5" in my 400 sq ft. shop with 4" runs of 5-10' after that.
As an aside, I also ordered a set of switched blast gates and a Long Ranger controller box. I have had the remote version for a long time and it's done a good job, but I don't want to keep track of the remote AND be switching gates open and closed all the time. Anybody have this system and if so, what do you think?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
