There are advantages and disadvantages to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary system is more versatile and convenient. The Model G1028Z/G1029 is designed to be a central dust collector system. Locate the dust collector in an out of the way location such as a corner or separate room. The dust collector is capable of collecting dust from up to two machines running simultaneously. Because of the large suction capacity of the Model G1028Z/G1029, great flexibility is possible in the planning and designing of your dust collection duct layout. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book entitled Dust Collection Basics. Whatever system you choose, always make sure there are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispursed into the air. Material Selection You have many choices regarding main line and branch line duct material. In most commercial workshops, the main line and branch lines are usually metal duct. Flexible hose is then used to connect each machine to the branch lines. In the case of small home shops, flexible hose may be used for both main line and branch line ducts. Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops. Please be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without being grounded against static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be discussed later in the manual. METAL DUCT Metal duct comes in many varieties. Stove pipe, heating/ventilation duct and duct made especially for dust collection are all options. Advantages of metal duct is its conductivity and that it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct is a conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate any static electrical charges. However, metal duct is generally more expensive than plastic duct and it is not usually airtight unless specifically manufactured for dust collection. Specially manufactured metal duct, on the other hand, is quite expensive. Metal duct is also generally more difficult to cut and assemble. FLEXIBLE HOSE Flexible rubber hose, polyethylene, plastic flex- hose and other flexible ribbed hose is generally used for short runs, small shops and at rigid ductto- tool connections. There are many different types of flex hose on the market today. These are manufactured from materials such as polyethylene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even metal, including steel and aluminum. G1028Z/G1029 Dust Collector -15 There are also many kinds of pure plastic flexible hose, such as non-perforated drainage type hose and dryer vent hose. Drainage type hose, while being economical, does not quite have the flexibility required for dust collection. The inside of the duct is also deeply corrugated and can increase the static pressure loss by as much as 50% over smooth wall duct. Dryer vent hose, while being completely flexible, is non-resistant to abrasion and has a tendency to collapse in a negative pressure system. If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the many types that are designed specifically for the movement of solid particles, i.e. dust, grains and plastics. However, the cost of specifically designed flexible duct can vary greatly. Grizzly offers polyethylene hose which is well suited for the removal of particulate matter, especially sawdust, since it is durable and completely flexible. Polyethylene is also very economical and available in a wide variety of diameters and lengths for most applications. PLASTIC DUCT The popularity of plastic duct is due to the fact that it is an economical and readily available product. It is also simple to assemble and easily sealed against air loss. The primary disadvantage of plastic duct for dust collection, whether black ABS or white PVC and even rubber or polyethylene flex-hose, is the inherent danger of static electrical build-up. System Grounding Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inexpensive, easily assembled and air tight, it is a very popular material for conveying dust from woodworking machines to the dust collector. We recommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to connect the woodworking machine to the dust collector. However, plastic flex-hose and plastic duct are an insulator, and dust particles moving against the walls of the plastic duct create a static electrical build up. This charge will build until it discharges to a ground. If a grounding medium is not available to prevent static electrical build up, the electrical charge will arc to the nearest grounded source. This electrical discharge may cause an explosion and subsequent fire inside the system. To protec...
