Plastic Vs. Metal Dust Collection

+1 for Horizon.

10' stick of 6" ASTM2729 was $16
6" wyes were about $12
6"->4" adapters about $10

I grumbled a little about the price of the fittings at first (he wanted to charge me something like $23/ea), and somehow, the prices all came down by about half. I think that was the "you don't have an account" markup being removed

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the first few places I found were $20 - $25 for a 10 foot stick. Someone, here I believe, steered me onto Horizon online. There just happened to be a distribution center a few miles from my work and the prices were great.

Horizon! Yes, that is the place I used. I bought my stuff a couple years ago so I don't know if they are cheaper or more expensive now.

If you are worried about static here's an idea - get some of that aluminium tape and run that INSIDE the PVC leaving enough at the ends to wrap around to the outside about 4". Do the same to the fittings such that the tapes make good contact. Run screws through the fittings at the tape if you wish, but definitely ground the end to the DC frame.
