3 had cyclones ranging from a PSI Tempest that I think was 2.0hp up to a big G0441 that is 3hp.
Ducting was interesting - all used some form of 30ga metal for parts of the components and the PSI was all 30ga. I know thats light stuff and with that kind of power they have would have been mighty reluctant to do same. Having said that they all stated they researched and asked a lot of users who have done the same if they ever had issues. Nope. The only thing any have heard of was the comment and pics above on that section that collapsed awhile back. Each uses smaller sections of the 30ga stuff - 5' was longest single piece. Maybe that helps avoid stress? I dunno - they somehow got it all to work fine. I know Wood mags cyclone design from years back was 30ga too so ?????This DC thing is a wee bit overwhelming isn't it
