Rick Hammans Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am trying to upgrade my DC in my shop until I can get a Clear Vue. So I have 6" metal ducting and a 2hp Jet single stage. I was thinking I could improve it with a separate Thien separator. Anyone built one with 6" ports? If so, did you use flex hose and 6" PVC 90s? Advice? Sources? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifesaver2000 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Have you been to the the Thien forum? I'm sure I have seen numerous 6 inch in/out top hat separators there. The forum is currently at: http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=f06dmlcdm94rfmun382qphvrf1&board=1.0 I don't have time right now to look through and find a specific post, but you should be able to find all the info you need on any size separator.

Beechwood Chip Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'd avoid any bends, especially 90s. Here's an example with no bends: you cut the pipe to go directly into the Thien separator. Here's another example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
