Hello Phil et al -

It's been a long time since I've posted here.

Now I want to use the bag tree on my Delta 50-850 and I figure I'll make this Thien Baffle out of 1/4" tempered hardboard.

The incoming hose diameter is 6" and I cut the centre plate's restrictor out. I'll reconfigure the blower's position so there are no curves and everything's reeeeeeeal close together to minimize losses.

Rather than use the downward-facing cone-thing in the bag tree's interior I'm thinking of placing a 3/4" MDF disc to fit precisely in that upper portion and having an HVAC pipe hang downward, extending by half of the pipe's diameter below the bottom of the MDF . Is 6" the right diameter? Or is there a different/better diameter to use?

Do I also extend the pipe upward into the filter - if so, by how much?

Thank you all.

Howard
