IMPORTANT!
Minimum Recommended Ceiling Height
A minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 8 feet (96 inches) is required for a 20-gallon steel drum.
The content of this manual is based upon the assembly of the system under an 8’ ceiling.
If you have purchased a 30-gallon or a 40-gallon Steel Collection Drum from Clear
Vue, additional ceiling height is required. You will need to account for this additional
height during assembly.
•
The 30-gallon steel drum requires a minimum ceiling height of 103".
•
The 40-gallon steel drum requires a minimum ceiling height of 98".
If your ceiling is lower than this recommended height, please contact us at 888-299-0221 to discuss
your alternate installation options.
Leaks
To maximize performance of your dust collection system, it will be imperative to check for leaks. Leaks on the
suction side of the system will reduce the CFM (cubic feet per minute) performance levels. We recommend the
sealing of all connections in your ducting.
Leaks in the collection drum or at the bottom of the cyclone are a major problem. Such leaks will cause an up-
flow of air through the cyclone and prevent the dust from entering the collection drum. This will affect the
separation efficiency of the cyclone and more dust will advance through to your filters, which may cause
blockage and/or motor failure.
Leaks found anywhere after the dust reaches the blower may be blown back into your shop. This is a
hazardous situation, and these leaks should be sealed immediately.
Testing for leaks can be done by performing a “smoke test”. With any smoke-producing device (such as an
incense stick), waft the smoke around the various seams of the system. Leaks in the ducting will cause the
smoke to disperse. Leaks around the base of the cyclone will cause the smoke to be pulled in. Seal any leaks
for optimal performance.
