Ping Mark (or anyone else around here):
I'm setting up a 2HP Oneida DC, and need some extra ducts. The original plans
called for two 90 degree turns right before the cyclone, but I think I'd
rather do two 45 degrees to get the duct up to the ceiling. Is there anyone you'd recommend
in Tucson who could sell me a couple
of (possibly adjustable) 45-degree, 7" metal ducts?
Thanks,
Andy Barss

Interesting. You can really tell the generation gap. Me, I'd call
someone in the area, ask them, probably get, "Huh? I dunno.", then I'd
stop a the local Ace Hardware to see what they have. If they don't have
it, I'd ask if they knew where I could get it. Then, depending on the
day, and my mood, might visit one of the local Lowes to see what they
have. But then my next step would be to get out the locan phone book,
and start calling heating and air companies in my area. If I wasn't
invoved in something else might well just make my own. If I was really
desperate I'd ask my older son to make some for me, he works for a
heating and air company and they can pretty much make anything they need
along those needs.

I got mine from Metal Manufacturing Company:
From 411.com:
Metal Manufacturing Company
4795 S Julian Ave
Tucson, AZ 85714 Map
o (520) 748-9485
It was 2003 when I bought from them. They don't carry anything in stock,
but manufacture when you place the order. They may be somewhat pricey for
just a few pieces; I know that was the case when I had to have a smaller
order filled to accommodate some last-minute changes and to provide for a
couple of pieces I missed.
Good luck.

I'm looking for 22 gauge 7" diameter round duct that's adjustable, so I didn't

company and was satisfied with the result.

Mine is five, so I think his ductswork might leave something to be desired!

Andy,
Did you get the information I posted? Not being snippy, just
double-checking my news service.

Ah, so you think your method (lots of phone calls, and trips to stores
where people might have no idea what you're talking about -- as per your
description) is better than asking a quick question here, and getting a
couple of fast and accurate responses?

Why not? The Ace is in town, and I go to town every day anyway.
Lowes is usually worth a trip. And no telling what I can learn by a few
telephone calls. A couple of years back I was looking for some 1"
square tubing, sh hit the yellow pages. First place didn't sell any,
but gave me a number of a place that would. after about 3 total calls,
I had found a couple of places that sold it, one of which would cut to
desired lengths, and found a place where I can get used subing, of
varying enghts, and a very low price. Well worth the time spent I'd
say. Be polite, ask questions, and it can be absolutely amazing the
information people will volunteer. I'd never have gotten any of that
information if I'd just gotten where to buy from one person.
Networking. It's always good for the soul to find out stuff like that
on your own. Besides, talking to the people like that I can compare
prices.

: Andy,

Yes I did -- and thanks for the info. I'll give them a call.
Now that I think about it, the original ducting plan I have might need more revision than
I'd originally thought, so I'm doubly glad to have a local source recommended.
