Hey guys, thanks for all the great info on this site, first time poster here. It's been a big help as I"m getting started on my dust collection set-up for my small basement shop. I'm planning to use the 2 HP Harbor Freight dust collector, modified with a super dust deputy, and venting outside.
For ducting, I'm planning to run 4" sheet metal ducting to blast gates, and 4" flex tubing from there to the tools. I only have a table saw and miter saw at this point, so it's a pretty short distance from the DC to my tools.
My question has to do with the connection to the 5" inlet on the SDD. I want to put a 5" x 4" x 4" "Y" from Kencraft's directly onto the SDD, with the 5" side of the "Y" being crimped to allow the rest of my ducting to have the crimped end towards the DC. In reading the about the SDD, it looks like they recommend slipping a 5" x 4" reducer over the inlet.
Can anyone tell me if a 5" crimped sheetmetal fitting will fit inside the 5" inlet on the SDD?
Thanks for the assistance.
Ned
