Has anyone had experience with the CV blastgates. I ordered one to see what they where like when I ordered some other stuff from Lee Valley.
First impressions are not what I expected. The 150mm DWV slips loosley over the fitting on the gate leaving a gape around the pipe that would need to be filled to stop leaks, leaving a constricition back to less than 140mm for the air to pass through and the gate itself leaves a small lip either side of the hole when opened, a little more restriction. Camera is dead or I'd post pic.
Am I reading too much into it, or could the above things be detrimental to airflow and therefore not of much use.
Opinions appreciated.
