When the valve is open theres only the knife edge of the gate obstructing airflow and when its closed, it is nearly 100% blocked with little risk of debris getting in the way of full closure. Look inside the typical steel or plastic sliding gate and youll see a large portion of the airway blocked by the part of the gate that doesnt get out of the way. This not only restricts airflow, it also creates unwanted turbulence.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical blast gates have grooves for the gates to slide in. Those grooves collect chips like a magnet. Soon you have to fight the gate open and closed or stop everything and clean them out.  FULLThrottles butterfly design eliminates the groove and the cleaning that goes with it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Mounting Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDucts running overhead\" Put your FULLThrottle blast gates with the lever facing down. Ducts on the wall\" The lever can be placed on either side, the top or the bottom, whatever is convenient. Need the valve mounted directly to the machine\" In addition to our in-line valve, we offer one with a flange mount. No matter which way you mount it, you wont have gates opening when they shouldnt or vibrating closed in the middle of your job. And if its in a tight spot, opening the valve doesnt require 4-inch clearance beside the duct. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Fit with Quick-Change Fittings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSometimes you dont want to connect a hose permanently. Maybe a couple machines have to share a hose, or leaving the hose in place all the time creates a tripping hazard. We designed the fitting of the FULLThrottle to mate to every 4 quick-connect coupler we could find. No matter what brand of quick-change coupling you have on your hose, it will fit the FULLThrottle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasier Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe taper that fits quick-change couplers also makes permanent installation of flexible hose easier. With a 2-inch clamping length (more than twice the clamping area of most other blast gates) and two tapered sections, youll always get a good seal, no matter what brand or style of flexible 4 hose youre using. If you need a firmer mount than just your ductwork or hose, we offer a Rack-It mounting bracket that attaches to the blast gate in seconds and provides a solid mount to the wall or ceiling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike all Woodpeckers products, FULLThrottle blast gates are proudly made and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, manufacturing facility (just south of Cleveland).

Tool manufacturers have added and improved dust collection on their equipment, pleated filters are replacing open weave bags and cyclone separators are becoming common. One critical component of the dust collection system hasnt seen much in the way of innovationthat is, until now. Introducing Woodpeckers FULLThrottle blast gates. Our blast gates offer several unique advantages over traditional sliding valves; more efficient airflow, reduced maintenance, better fit with quick-change couplers, easier installation of flexible hose, and better mounting options. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43570480939056,"sku":"FTBG-SM","price":5.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4876\/8304\/files\/8ih4hn7emudo_9ff681c5-dc59-4690-b748-ee6e12dc0743.jpg?v=1788580382","url":"https:\/\/toolnutus.com\/products\/woodpeckers-ftbg-sm-full-throttle-4-blast-gate-surface-mount-b6ws9i","provider":"InoPrints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
