Thread: turnable 90* elbow

I just "push fit" all my fittings and add a short TEK screw when the orientation is vertical.

Are you looking for ideas for a vertical "quick connect/disconnect" ?

The problem with any bayonet style fitting is the ducting is too thin to long term support the bayonet toggles.

I'd be looking at something that bolts small wooden blocks to the ducting and elbow and then a way of using an Ocky strap or similar to link the two.

If you're really wanting a rotating bend, go to you local plumbing supply shop and ask for the section that takes the "O" ring for the tolet, I'm pretty sure that they are 4"/100mm.

You could make it a little like a one sided blast gate. Glue a plate with "L" shaped lips on three sides to the fixed pipe and a plate on the bottom pipe that slides into the top one. When together you can have a pin you drop in if you don't want to chance it coming apart.

More mud pie?

Bob, 1. I am wanting to use one pipe run that would allow the thicknesser, jointer and sander all able to plug into main line. Tek screwing is good but interchanging over period of time would mess things up.
2 yes.
4 good idea.

Kryn, wash your mouth out this is 6" pipe

Pete... I think I understand but a diagram would be helpful please

OK I now understand.
If it's a Vertical duct that you need to attach to, just permanently attach a long radius bend at the bottom to turn it into a horizontal.
When temporarily attaching machine on the horizontal I just use PUSH FIT. The suction will more than easily hold it on.
Very few of my permanent ducting fittings are fixed with glue or tape and I only use one or two TEKs on the verticals.

Let’s see if my cardboard sketch makes sense to you. You’ll have to kind of join them in your head. Left is looking into the open slot and the second is from the side. Last is together.

I’m not sure if my setup helps in any way, it swivels 90* from vertical to horizontal. I have it hooked up to the table saw most of the time or I can swing it over to my bench for use with routing or sanding. It was a bit of work to get it solid and swinging easily, but it works a treat.







Flexible hose stays connected all the time.

QC Inspector... your a wise man, thats what I was thinking of, however BobL bless his cotton sox now says that suction will keep the pipe where I want it, can always use your idea on fallback.

Cal...that is just gloating fair gp what a shed, what a view woodwork

Tonto, did you get your bell mouth hoods sorted? I have still got a mandrel for making them but I don’t have any 6” pvc, I don’t have a need to buy a 6 metre length of it but if you still need some made let me know and I will see what I can do.

thanks mate worked out a solution.
