Re: Nordfab rigid metal flex duct question #dustcollection


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Google ¡°pipe offset¡± and ¡°rolling offset¡±, and there are calculators. ?With 45s and 90s you can make any angle you need, just ¡°roll¡± it.?

That¡¯s a 45 degree fitting that runs at 15ish into the dc. ?If you use 2 or more you can get shorter and fancier, but with dc longer runs between bends is better anyway.

?Nordfab has flexible pipe sections, not just rigid pipe. I think they are a bit more costly than a comparable length of the rigid Nordfab piping. Check their website to see if any of their flexible options will meet your needs.?

Joe, without seeing a potential layout it's extremely hard to offer advice but in my delusional mind and see a solution that only relies on ready made pieces using tees and large radius elbows. No flex or custom made elbows necessary.

My shop has 9 foot sidewalls and vaulted ceilings. I am going to run the Nordfab duct up on the ceiling to maximize clearance overhead.? I have 3 options as I see it:
1) order custom elbows.? slickest solution but they need to be fabricated pretty accurately as the Nordfab does not seem to have any forgiveness once clamped.
2) do flex pipe for the custom angles.? The Nordfab rigid metal flex pipe looks perfect.? I need 7" and the min radius is quite large at 50" but that's not really an issue for me.? with this approach it would fit well for sure.
3) Do spiral wire poly hose.?

Thoughts, and has anyone dealt with custom angles?? Accuracy of Nordfab custom parts?
