So far so good. I have nothing to compare it to so I really can’t give it a fair rating.
Susan Heidenreich (verified owner) –
Much better than cheap plastic ones. I bought a 4 and a 2-1/2 and like them both. Only issue is that 2-1/2 doesn’t open all the way. The little stop indentation stops it from opening all the way.

Works great. Really nicely made.
Mavis Emard (verified owner) –
It’s a good quality gate which should last forever because its metal. However there is a gap at the bottom of it which makes it leak the air. A piece of butyl tape solved the problem. One could also use a silicone. It is rated 2.5″ but to fit a vac hose on it one would need to remove the end of hose

Good quality, for the price I was surprised
Hazel Hauck (verified owner) –
My vacuum fittings didn’t fit on this. I reformed some lengths of PVC pipe to fit.
Roxane Windler (verified owner) –
Another great product from powertec. Highly recommend to anyone installing a dust collection system in their shop. Great price.

Will work well with the Vac system I’m building for disk sander and grinder.

As advertised

I should of bought a larger diameter. No one at the store even knew what I was talking about. Websites never even said what a proper size to use in certain uses. Does work allright
