Review on πŸ’¨ Efficiently Control Airflow with POWERTEC 70166 Aluminum Blast Gate, 5-inch by Matthew Perez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Gap too large causes excessive leakage

1* due to unacceptable gaps around the slider opening to close the plate. I had .032" UHMW tape with glue. I applied one layer to the casting and another to the plate. After reducing the original slack by 1/16" there is still some slack left.

Pros
  • CONSTRUCTION: Blastgate features strong aluminum construction with high quality steel sliders designed for air leakage prevention, design flexibility and long life
Cons
  • Some difficulties
