Hi Everyone,
I am after some clarification on the position of the outlet pipe on a top hat I'm building. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the internet.
"Note that the outlet must project into the separator so that it ends 1/2 pipe diameter from the ..." baffle - or the - top cover ? ? ?
A lot of the written information shows the outlet pipe 1/2 of its diameter from the baffle however a lot of the diagrams show it 1/2 of its diameter from the top cover. So which is it?
If I have a have a 14" high top hat, with a 6" outlet, should it finish 3" from the top or 3" from the bottom?
I have included one of the conflicting examples of dimensions that is all over the internet.
Thanks Marty
If the distance between the baffle and the top = the diameter of the outlet pipe, then it doesn't matter - 1/2 pipe diameter from top or baffle is the same level.
If your top hat is taller then the outlet pipe diameter, then I believe most designs end the outlet 1/2 pipe diam. above the baffle. Scan the site for other builds to confirm this.
Sorry for the slow response - busy time of year.
