I said "duct", not "conduit". As in HVAC duct, which is what the OP was
asking about.

Then you have the impractical thoughts, mine is hmm 4 inch thin wall
soldered with clean outs all polished and pretty.
Like, I did not get enough metal polishing at Lackland.
Hmm, 4 inch copper gutter down spouts.

Best in my opinion is to use rigid metal duct for main lines, and flexible
hose to each piece of equipment. The rigid metal duct has much less resistance
to airflow, and pretty much nothing for solids to get hung up on, so the more
of it you have in the system the better. On the other hand, rigid metal duct
is, well, rigid -- and thus not compatible with moving the equipment around at
all, hence the flexible hose.
