I'm working on the plan to upgrade my DC. For simplicity, I'm going to run 7" main and 5" and 6" drops. I'm hoping to automate the drops and build my own gates. Can any one tell me how well the 6" sheet metal fittings match or mate with the 6" PVC fittings?

I used an 8-6-6 metal wye on my exhaust. I cut a 1" wide piece of the 6" PVC and put on the metal wye so that the 6" flex would have a good fit. I believe this 1" wide piece was on the crimped part of the metal wye. Might have to look at at that to verify. Jim.

Jim,
It sounds like you went from 6" sheetmetal to 6" flex. Did you have to go from 6" sheetmetal to 6" PVC by any chance? I am trying to guage the fit-up of the two different pipes.

I had good luck with 6" sheetmetal fitting snuggly within 6" ASTM-2729.

That gives me hope. I have found anyone that carries the heavy gauge sheetmetal and PVC fittings, so I was looking for someone that had experience before I shelled out the $$$.
