Made a little change to my dust collection. Two ports and a closed position.
Installed in 3" dust line. after glue up of blocks either turn the center hole or cut out on a bandsaw.

Countersink holes in wood circle and punch metal over hole then screw 120° apart. Pop rivet other end. With a 2 1/4" hole saw drill holes in two faces of hexagon. Drill one of the holes with the metal sleeve inserted.

Modified elbow inside 'can' and aligned with hole and the whole thing inserted into a 4" to 3" coupling?????
What else is inside the hex box?

The modified elbow with 3" long by 3" diameter CPVC goes inside the top of the 4" CPVC. Just being frugal and not buying a 4" to 3" reducer. The hexagon goes on the outside bottom of the 4" CPVC. My original thought was 3 ports with a closed area between each one but you would have to go to 6" CPVC. The sole purpose of the hexagon is for 2 1/4" holes to hold the dust collection hoses.

Exactly on the 3" elbow. I cut it out of a washing machine drain on our last house flip.
Thanks for the compliment on the drawings. I putter with Sketchup occasionally.

Improved cheaper version with three ports. To simplify even more, scrap the part where I put 7/16" blocks on the inside corners and just glue up two 2"x4"x36". I would joint or plane the surfaces that are being glued together. Edit: You might want to make the aluminum can first and turn the approximate 6 1/8" hole to fit.

Hexagon with 3/4" plywood and faceplate. Remove screws where ports are to be drilled after glue up.

I used a 4" hole saw to cut out the top after turning. The three port holes were drilled with a 2 1/4" hole saw and drum sanded to size of hose.
Drill only one hole in the aluminum insert. Aluminum is 3 7/16" x 20 5/8" with a one inch overlap.
I used aluminum in this version, easier on the hole saw. 3" toilet flange.
