Larger copper pipes for dust collection?

<sell1892 · 2005-03-19T22:05:16+00:00

If I ground my PVC dust collection ducts to my water pipes, will Ineed to sweat bigger copper tubing since my dust collector is 240V?It's a 3HP motor, but not that efficient so I'll run it on a 60Abreaker. I'm planning to get about 9,300 CFM, but will use 18-inchduct to make sure the pressure drop isn't too bad.I don't want SWMBO to get shocked while she's brushing her teeth.Hope this helps,John
