Works just like my other blast gates

Works just like my other blast gates. The gate bends easily where it's thin on the open side and I have to bend it back straight all the time.

Disappointed - leaks and turbulence.

The steel flap is very poorly fixed in the case, it lets air through and gets clogged with dirt. (This is a 1.2mm sheet in a 3.2mm gap). The opening in the gate is not round (and not as shown in the photos) which creates turbulence and reduces airflow. I can probably get them to work well enough, but then I might as well make my own from scratch if that's what I wanted to spend my weekends on.

Pros
  • Accessories for vacuum cleaners and dust collectors
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

FALSE ADVERTISED - DO NOT BUY

I bought these about 5 months ago. I figured since they're from a reputable company I shouldn't worry about trying them out during the return period. Well I was wrong. These blast dampeners are NOT 6 inches. They are NOT suitable for 6 inch PVC pipe. They will NOT fit 6" flexible hose. I don't understand how a company can advertise this as a 6" diameter and then sell it as a 5.50". In short, this is FALSE ADVERTISING!

  • Tools & Housewares
Cons
