ClearVue Pipe Sizing

[Drew Pavlak]

Brian Hale: If you upgrade to the 16" impeller on the CV 1800 what size ducting will it be setup for, 6",7" or 8"?

Brian,
The system I purchased is setup for 6" S&D pipe. I think the 1800's are setup for 6" no matter what impeller you choose. If I go with 7", I will have to build my own transition to make to work.

Fred Thompson: How much more did you pay for the upgraded impeller?

Fred,
That is hard to say. I got the entire unit on their 12 days of Christmas sale for $1999.00+$220.00 S&H. So $2219.00. What I got for that was the following:
LH CV1800 body
16" impeller
16" impeller housing
Nano Filters
Elec. Box
Bin Sensor
Cleanout box

I do not intend to use the cleanout box that was supplied, I have tall ceilings (12') and plan on mounting it as high as I can, so I am going to build a filter box that sits a little lower and then connect the exhaust to the filter box with 8" flexible HVAC Duct. I believe that is the easiest way for me to incorporate a "muffler" and get my filters down to a more manageable height for cleaning.

I have had an original CV with 15" impeller for years - all piping is 6" S&D. When doing a 2 machine process (jointer to TS rip back to jointer or shaper to TS for rip and back to shaper) I often get lazy and leave both machines connected to the DC. I have never noticed any issues with collection running 2 machines on a 15" CV (and yah I know it the dust you can't see that is bad) with the exception of the drum sander.
