So far, this is one of the best how to explanations for creating Shop-Vac "fittin's" out of PVC. I just started doing this and discovered something that you may have answered here. When creating PVC fittings, you should probably use at least a 5" (possibly 6") piece of PVC. I think the heat will warp the other end if it's any shorter than this. I created one that's probably 4", and the Shop-Vac hose fit in it perfectly, but after I heated the other end of the fitting to shrink it so it would fit inside of the receiving end, it seems the first end must have enlarged some during the heating process, because now my shop vac hose falls out of it. I put a few wraps of electrical tape and that seems to be holding. Anyway, Liked and Subscribed. Will look for more from you. Thanks. Edit: PS, I really like the idea of running a pipe down to the floor so you can just sweep whatever ends up down there into the clean up area.
Great setup. You can tell you put some labor into it. Just a tip. When you make any more couplings. Once you heat and fit the piece take a wet rag dipped into cold water and wipe the heated pipe down. It will cause it to cool in seconds and you dont have to hold it in place so long. It all looks great. You will get years of service out of it. Nice job!
Hopefully it will, I debated for a while on using my shop vac. While visiting a friend ( hammer down woodworking) he cleared that question and more. It will be a great asset. Thanks for watching
Most videos show how to make pipes bigger- yours is the first I’ve seen that shows how to reduce the diameter. How much of a reduction do you think is possible doing it this way?

Thanks man The floor sweep is great
I could listen to him say “fittings” all day.. so soothing..
You must learn southern English lol. Fittings=fittins
Feeteens. Love it.
Love your old foot-powered sewing machine. My mother had one of those for a while.
Thanks. Too bad the machine isn’t salvageable
Enjoyed your video very much. Your accent reminds me of all my relatives. Made me a little homesick to be honest.❤
Thanks a lot. As for my accent people either loves it or hates it. Lol.
Great presentation, I’ll use your system for several applications in my shop. Thanks.
Hopefully it helps

That’s a great idea. I was unsure about the shop vac but you changed my mind, it actually works extremely well especially for my size shop.
Hello my friend,
I also need such a system. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.
This was much needed. Thanks for watching
@@Jordanwoodworking Yes. See you. greetings.
Some very useful info in this video. Thanks for sharing it.

Good idea. For more even heat you can dip one end of the pipe into a couple of inches of boiling water until its soft but your idea is quicker
That would work but I’m trying to stay out of the kitchen. Lol
I love your setup. Makes keeping the shop clean so much easier. I am definitely envious. BTW... Nice tutorial.
Thanks Richard. It’s definitely going to help keep the shop clean. Hopefully someone can get some ideas from it.
Nice Alternative to adapt it to any Vaccum.. Very helpful!!
Thanks a lot Erick. They seem to be working great
Thanks for the demo
Nice job man! Great project! Thanks for sharing..Blessings!
Thanks a lot Jim. This was long overdue
@@Jordanwoodworking glad you were able to check it off the list! Have a great week! Blessings!

This is a technique used to increase the size of the pipe to adapt it to another size
Really good and berry nice tools
Thanks
So this whole system is powered by a 6hp shop vac??.
Yes sir
How’s your chop saw connected to dust collector
It’s not, the dust hood contains most of the sawdust and I vac it out periodically
Great idea
Good video. ty boss
