J. Phil Thien's Projects

Some time ago (last year?), someone had some pictures where they'd plumbed their separator directly into the bottom of a shop vac with, I think PVC pipe between the two.  The shop vac actually sat on top of or just above the separator lid.  Does anyone still have shots of this setup?  If you built it, do you still like it, or did you decide that it wasn't the best solution?  Why or why not?

Thanks,

Hey Phil.  I just found your site yesterday, and this looks like a great solution for my small shop.  I have a question about orientation of the Ell on the inlet side of the lid.  Does it matter whether the inlet is directed clockwise or counter-clockwise (when viewed from the top of the can) in order to get the best separation?

Thanks,
