    Default 6''pvc to two or three 4'' outlets

    I am looking at running 6'' pvc to 3 4'' outlets after a clearvue 6'' blastgate. Any advice on the best and most cost effective method of doing this would be very much appreciated. Please keep in mind I have no experience in playing with pvc to date. Clearvue have 6'' to two 4'' outlets but I have it on good advice that I will require three 4'' outlets to obtain adequate fine dust removal. ( thanks Bob L)

    Thanks

    One way is to use 2 x 6" Storm water WYE junctions like

    Then you need to add 6 to 4"" level invert junctions" like this to the 3 remaining 6" openings

    But if you can get these they cost a little more but you save on the cost of 2 level inverts.

    Thanks again Bob, makes sense once I see it. I'm going to change my machine ports to 6'' where I can but some like the carbatec drum sander may prove difficult. This has a 2.5 '' port which I think I may be able to upgrade to 4'' only.
