Third and most important plastic pipe is non conductive and builds up a static charge as charged.
Metal dust collector pipe.
That is not to say that metal is not a better choice it is.
All steel construction offers superior rigidity minimizes static discharge and adds strength.
It can be installed as a new ducting system or integrated into existing ductwork in just minutes.
Because of its quick fit design dust collector pipe is easily expandable and moveable.
In stock and ready to ship.
We could get into a long discussion about the relatively low odds of plastic pipe being able to generate a sufficiently strong static discharge to ignite a column of dusty fast moving air inside dust collector piping.
