Adding new drops and blast gates
We use these blast gates as they are very sturdy, clean themselves, and are easy to mount to things and mount things to them: http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=51506&cat=1,42401,62597 Get the keyed hose clamps to make your life significantly better.
The primary ductwork is 6" duct. We have mostly purchased the duct from Corken Steel over in Newport. Decent prices and they have a huge variety of parts (although you may need to wait a few days to get some parts). For flexible ducting the smaller stuff has been purchased from amazon/whereever. Larger 6" stuff should also be ordered from Lee Valley. http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=51505&cat=1,42401,62597,62604&ap=1
