good directonal flows
Get some type of tape to use with this. Sturdy. It directs and doesn't stop air flow too much. Overall, if you need it-it works.
double check your measurements
Not the item's fault so no taking point off, however, there are varying measurements in ducting and they are not interchangeable. Lets just say that my 4" duct outlet on my bandsaw does not fit the 4" connection on this unit. Not the end of the world, flexible duct is flexible and can be stretched.
So double check the measurements on all your equipment and be sure you are getting what you really need.
Handy item
I was real happy to find this piece and it worked perfectly in my application, which is a dust collection system attached to a 14" chop saw an some ancilliary dust creators in the cutting room. The backbone of the collector is 6" air duct pipe made from parts available at local hardware stores, but the local big boxes don't carry anything other than the run-of-the-mill adapters. When I finally did the obvious and checked on Amazon it was like a new world of possibilities opened up and I ordered numerous bits & pieces on several occasions.
This Y Adapter is attached to a 6" blast gate (from Amazon) using a section of 6" metal air duct as a connector because the plastic parts are of the same diameter so they don't join; the gate sits nicely in the 6" metal pipe T adapter that is part of the main backbone from the industrial vacuum. Then I mounted a pair of 4" --> 3" reducers (more Amazon orders), again using joiners cut from locally supplied air duct, in this case 4"...
