Highlights
Quality
Bought two of these to start my system assembly and i can say i am impressed with build quality, ease of use and especially the shipper.
These are easy to install quality blast gates.

Fast forward and i need a 2 1/2 and these are basically the same quality as my old ones.
Price
Great product with i very good price.
Competitiveness
Used these for an in-place vac system in my garage.
These powertec gates seem to be very solid.

No electric switch or spring or notch to hold the gate open but otherwise a quality well manufactured unit
