Title: 5' fittings
Post by: digger on February 05, 2009, 06:52:57 AM
Found some fittings on-line. Before I order, would like an opinion as to
whether they could work. Either 28 or 26 gauge.

I believe there is a post where someone did the side entry for the separator using a part that was similar to the air-tite top collar takeoff. the only thing I would say was to maybe find a way to smooth the transition in the bottom left of the square part because I would think if left alone it would cause turbulence as the chips and air slam into the side maybe rivet in a flexible section of sheet metal to smooth it out.
