Metal downpipe/ducting is pretty cheap, you don't have to earth it, it's not going to explode, so, why bother with PVC?

Dunno RF, I spose its strong enough? How tight are the bends, no worse than pvc I expect. I've heard of yanks using metal heater duct. Can you get 5 or 6" for main runs. Certainly would take the static out of the equation. You definately would want make sure its earthed through the DC. This may be achieved by the way its connected. Food for thought. Checkya. Rod
PS I do hate static shocks.
