Thank you Phil.
I like the new idea of 12" walls. But I've got a couple of questions. I'll continue using my existing 6" hose.
1 - my 6" outlet extends 3 inches into my current top hat
with 12" walls how deep should the 6" outlet extend into the new top hat
2 - should my 6-inch inlet be at the top of the 12-inch wall
if not at the top where
Thank you Phil.

the general rule for the outlet is 1/2 the diameter down but that only applies when the depth of the seperater is the same as the diameter of the inlet. (that also means that it is 1/2 the diameter up from the baffle
that is the key
the outlet pipe should be 1/2the diameter(3" in your case) up from the baffle.
the inlet pipe should be a at the top . that way it has the maximum amount below it to spin around on and seperate.

Exactly.
