I was surfing the net the other day and ran across a few sites that said that certain types of metal pipes shoul not be used with certain cyclones or other DC units. For anything drawing over 13" of static pressure you should not use anything under 24 gauge. Is this true? If so, how do you know what your unit is pulling? And what are you useing for metal pipe? I have looked at spiral pipebut, at $3.00 a foot it is a bit pricey. The fitting for this pipe is crazy., $40 for a elbow is out of my price range. My current set up is using the heavy gauge 6" round ducting. This can be had for about $1.50 a foot and the fitting are under 10 bucks a piece.
