I am looking to build a snorkel to help protect from the dust but I have never worked with PVC pipe before. What is the easiest method to measure and figure out what bends and diameter I need without buying a bunch of random peices and trying them?

Not difficult at all really. 4 foot pc of 2" pvc. 2 90's and 1 22 degree elbows plus a 2" femco fitting and your good to go. Just twist fittings around till you get the right configuration, mark a line with magic marker on all connections so you know how to put it back together before gluing up.

Buy a box of assorted fittings and couplers at Home Depot, then return what ya don’t use on your next shopping trip.

My Dad taught me that when I was a kid and he needed to change plumbing under the kitchen sink.
