Sorry I don’t know what an ABG is but as far as attaching duct work I believe the wire band straps are for flex hose and you need to use band clamps (preferably stainless) to attach ducting. Whay ducts did you end up getting Richard?

Bob ABG means….Aluminum Blast Gate. I did a lot of shopping around for quality and price and end up getting my materials from these suppliers and am very happy with the quality of all of it.

Oneida Pro 2000 cyclone 5 hp. (Used but never used Michigan wood working forum)

26 ga. metal pipe from a local contractor supply house, Builders Supply Midland, Mi. (Local pick up)

Self cleaning blast gates from: The BlastGate Company, Washington Twp., MI. (Mail order)

Flex hose from: Wynn Environmental Sales Inc. Warwick, Pa. (Mail order)

So far I just placed the gates on the ends of the system (friction fit) and started it up and it really sucks in a good way. I am very happy with the suction and the system so far.

Pop rivets sound good but I would still use duct tape to seal the seams.
After my ceiling is up I will be in touch when I install my DC piping .

duct tape will hold well for a few years but I am using a paint on duct sealer on my metal pipe, inside and out.
