Okay here goes nothing...
I just want to double check my shopping list as it were to complete the plumbing connections for the DC.
I come into and out of the DC with 4" DC fittings, the elbow a 4" DC hose elbow http://www.ptreeusa.com/dust_y_T_elbow.htm#418, and the center pipe a 4" hose splice http://www.ptreeusa.com/dustfittings_connector.htm#419
I come out of there to a Rockler 4" DC hose to PVC S&D fitting http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...3&filter=sewer
I come accross with the S&D to wyes, and 45 degree elbows to make my LONG 90 degree bends to get to the tools and blast gates. I know I will need some sort of clamps or brackets to hold the pipe, but what?
I THINK this is the material I need to come out of the S&D pipe, and to the machines.
Mind you, I am not saying I am planning on using supplier A.B.C. or D, I am just giving these links as a reference to the TYPE of fittings etc... I am thinking about...
Lee Valley 4" self cleaning aluminum blast gates. Item #03J61.24
http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...t=1,42401&ap=1
The little bit of gap between the blast gate and the pipe will be taken up with "Duck" brand duct tape, I have a LOT of it... The blast gates will be held in with self threading screws.
To provide the fit from the blast gate to the male hose end, which I believe are both 4" OD, I would need a 4" taper to taper quick connect splice. http://www.ptreeusa.com/dustfittings_connector.htm#424
To build the hoses, I will need, welll, hose. Item #381 SuperFlex 4" x 50' hose should be fine. I have the 2.5" stuff already and it works great. http://www.ptreeusa.com/dusthose.htm
To connect the hoses to the blast gates and machines, on each end of the hose I would want 4" Dust Collection Hose Threaded quick connect, just like I have on my 2.5" system hoses, but bigger.

To connect the table saw belly pan, and blade shroud I will need a 4"x4"x2.5" wye fitting as well as another of those taper by taper splices to allow me to quick disconnect the wye from the main hose. Same goes for the band saw. http://www.ptreeusa.com/dust_y_T_elbow.htm#416
Speaking of the band saw, yes, the lower wheel guard area dust collection is pitiful at best. A 4" universal dust port / flange is in order. http://www.ptreeusa.com/dust_ports.htm#389
A few misc machines will require a 2.5" port, but not the static lift of the vac, for those I will want the item #441 4" to 2 1/2" reducer. http://www.ptreeusa.com/dustfittings_reducers.htm
