FS Dust Collector Hose and Fittings

Sorry I can't purchase anything but I'm wondering where you were able
to find 6" PVC? I'm having trouble finding it locally....

thanks-

Since my BIL is a master plumber I just went to the plumbing supply
house and got them to order it. However even they had to be whacked on
the side of the head to get them to order ASTM 2379 S&D (sewer and
drain) rather than schedule 40 which is much heavier and more
expensive. Interestingly Lowes near me (Bucks County PA) carries 6"
S&D fittings and some pipe. Lowes is only about 25% more than the
supply house price.

All the blast gates are located close to the machines usually there is
less than 3 feet of flex hose.. The gates are shop made from 3/4 MDF
bolted together. They form the transition from 6" to 4" (one side is
6", the slide is 6" and the other side is 4"). There are no adapters.

Did you use 6" blast gates near the main or 4" at the machine? If you used
6" where did you get them? How did you adapt from 6" pipes to 4" ports on
your machines? Just 6" to 4" adaptors?

Any plumbing wholesaler should have it...

The best price on 6" blast gates is from Peachtree Woodworking Supply
(www.ptreeusa.com) $5.95. Just ordered some.
