Harbor freight 5" Dust collector fitting ????????

I have that dust collector also but couldn’t figure out now to hook it up to my barrel. Currently, I am using the wye with one capped off and four inch to the barrel.

Your pics are crooked. If you straighten them up it would be really helpful.

Edit: I see the 5 inch fitting you are talking about. Mine didn’t have anything like that in the box.

I’m gonna try to rotate photos,
Sorry if same. I’m sure u had to bolt a
5” fitting on your blowers output side
to run to your filter and bag. Rectangle
on blower 5” round out to plastic hose. That fitting is the one I needed on
top of seperator to line up with input
of blower

Andy, I have had problems posting pictures from my cell phone. They would post sideways.
But, if I would crop the image, even if I didn’t actually crop any of the image, the mere fact I cropped it, the picture would then upload and post with correct orientation.

Did you have to order that fitting extra?

Here is my set up. I would like to come out of the barrel to the blower suction with five inch hose, but I haven’t found anything that will fit the blower. That way I can eliminate the wye fitting.

Thanks
Mike

I called Harbor Freight and asked about buying one and
the manager just assumed I didn’t get that fitting with my
DC, I didn’t tell him any different. He opened a new DC
up and just gave me the fitting.

I am am looking at the same issues so I am going to try using 5 inch fittings I found in the Chimney pipe/HVAC section at Menards as well as the much cheaper 4 inch pieces I found in the plumming section.

-- No mistakes, just kindling

I used a 5” to 4” reducer in the plumbing section of Home Depot. The rubber ones with the hose clamps built into each end. Cheap, works great.

Thanks for the help. I need to take a closer look next time I am in the store.
