Caution: To help prevent injury, always wear protective

gloves when working with Snap-Lock ductwork.

1 Lay out all of the pieces to ensure you have everything you

need. (Fig. 1)

2 Measure and cut pipe with a saw or tin snips before snapping

the two sides together. (Fig. 2)

3 Create pipe lengths by starting at the crimped end and snap-

ping the two sides together. Hold together with one hand and

move down the pipe as the seam snaps in. When you get halfway,

it should snap fully closed. (Fig. 3 & 4)

4 Sometimes the joints on adjustable elbows get turned around

during shipping. While it may take a little time and eort, you

should be able to work them back into a curved shape section

by section. If the sections stick, try tapping them on the oor to

loosen or unstick them.

5 Lay out a section of pipe and ttings with the crimped ends

facing the Dust Collector. Secure pipe to ttings using four 3/8”

self-tapping sheet metal screws or pop rivets per joint - one

at every 90 degrees around the perimeter of the pipe. (Fig. 5)

Repeat for the remaining sections of pipe and ttings.

6 Blast gates are designed to air seal in one direction with

the plate toward the collector - tightening the thumbscrew

toward the collector will result in less air leakage. Use Blast

Gate Adapters (4” long straight pipe crimped on one end)

wherever Flex Hose will be used to connect the ductwork to

a tool. (Fig. 6) We recommend Quick Release Band Clamps

for connecting the hose to both the ductwork and the tool.

The easiest way to assemble ductwork is to build sections on the

oor and then, with help, lift the completed sections into place for

the nal installation. While assembling on the oor, be sure the oor

is at, and use a straight edge (such as a 2x4) to keep the piping

straight while it’s being put together.

Notes: If you aren’t comfortable doing the ductwork installation

yourself, consider hiring a local HVAC installer. Oneida Air Systems

oers ductwork design services for customers who have purchased

one of our dust collectors. Contact us for more information.

Short pieces of Flex Hose (5’ and under) do not have to be grounded. For longer Flex Hose lengths, you can use the internal wire in the

Flex Hose as a grounding wire, if desired. To ensure conductivity, strip and bare the end of the internal wire so it contacts the metal duct

to which the Flex Hose is attached. To minimize reductions in airow and static pressure, Flex Hose should only be used for the nal run

between the Snap-Lock Ductwork and the woodworking tool.

Flex Hose Note

Grounding Note

We recommend that the entire duct assembly be grounded to a known, safe electrical earth ground – not a neutral wire. This can be done

quickly and easily by using a wire to connect the duct assembly to a grounded electrical conduit or to a metal pipe or rod that’s partially

buried in the ground.

7 With help, lift the assembled sections into place and hang them

from the ceiling or wall using strapping placed every 3 - 4’. (Fig. 7)

8 After the ductwork is in place, you must seal the ductwork to

prevent air leaks. We recommend using either clear silicone or

HVAC tape to create a good seal at every joint. Wait until all of the

ductwork is in place before sealing adjustable elbows. If using

silicone, run a small bead at every joint, including along adjust-

able elbows, and smooth it over with your nger. If using tape,

one wrap at every seam should be sucent as long as the tape is

applied well.
