Dust extractor fittings above 4"

[craigs]

As the title implies, are there any good sources for 5" adaptors/fittings/hoses? im having trouble finding anything.

Specifically I have 2 requirements

1) To run a flex hose from the extractor to my bandsaw (dual 4")
for this ill need:
5" flex hose
2 5" cuffs
5" > 2x 4" Y adaptor
I have the 4" stuff for this

2) Flex hose to PT
5" flex hose
2 5" cuffs
5" > 4" reducer

I don't know why these aren't common considering people seem to be buying bigger extractors with options of dual 4" inlets or a single bigger 5"/6" inlet

Or maybe the RONA is affecting my ability to google :/

Cheers

dustspares do the 125mm hose. Possibly have some of the other bits too.

they have hose, which is the easiest bit to find the real issue is finding the fittings of which they don't have on their website

they are all metal for duct pipe, im just looking for plastic fittings for flex pipe, I dont see any value in ducting for my small space, might give them a call though to see if its the sort of thing they do

They fit the flexi pipe just the same, that is what I use them with. I don't think you will find anything above 4" in plastic.

I’m just starting to think ahead about a ducting system in a yet to be finished workshop. Question is: is a metal piped system favoured over a plastic piped system ?. There’s a few suppliers out there selling all plastic pipes and fittings systems that seem quite reasonable or a bit better price wise than metal systems.

from my understanding, above 4" metal is the way to go, smoother transitions at the joints etc, but I think it also needs earthing and sealing.

This supplier seems to do plastic 125 to 100mm reducers - https://www.i-sells.co.uk/125mm-to-100mm-reduce
