Title: Side entry seperator
Post by: Todd on January 09, 2012, 10:01:58 AM
Does anyone have a design plan for cutting out a 5" hvac duct pipe to add a side entry design into a 30 gallon metal garbage can?

Thanks
Todd

Thanks Steve but I dont want to build the tophat version.  I would like to build a sidentry version that empties into a 30 gallon metal trash can.

I made my side entry by just trial and error. As noted there is a more scientific way to figure the cut, but it wasn't that hard to figure out:
