Answer This Question
A: Never used one in that application. I used them with 4” PVC pipe and had to wrap several layers of painters tape around the end of the blast gate to get a snug fit. I don’t know for sure but if the dryer vent is the same inside diameter as the 4” PVC pipe you probably will have to do the same thing. That said, once installed they worked great. Been using several of them for nearly 2 years and never had a problem.

This dust port worked great for my application, I created a chip collection trap for my DeWalt planer using a Brute 22gal Trash can and this Delta 4in Dust port. And it is solid not flimsy at all, and I can close it when not in use. I have a attached a photo to show my application.

I was quite disappointed that this piece did not fit the standard fittings on a Delta dust collector, since it is actually made for Delta. It appears to only fit in-between two 4" collector hoses. Therefore, I had to make some modifications. First, I am in agreement with other reviewers that the gate pieces are just glued together and can separate - I drilled a small hole in each corner (being sure not to drill through the slide) and installed a small screw and nut - the Blast Gate still opens and closes easily.
Next, I found that a piece of 4" ABS drainpipe was a really close fit over the Blast Gate and one end of the "Y" fitting hose adapter on my Delta dust collector. I cut a 3 3/4" piece of the ABS pipe, cleaned up the cut edge and used ABS cement to glue it onto the Blast Gate, making sure that I sealed the edge of the Blast Gate inside the ABS pipe with a small brush and ABS cement (also making sure no cement got on the slide part of the Blast Gate and that it moves smoothly). Doesn't really matter which side you glue the ABS coupler onto, but I chose to glue it so the the "pull handle" on the slide faced down. Then I coated the "Y" fitting fairly heavily with ABS cement, as well as the 4" ABS pipe used as a coupler. I aligned the Blast Gate on the "Y" so that when the "Y" was placed on the dust collector I could easily access and be able open and close the gate easily. I then set the piece aside to dry vertically so that the end of the "Y" which connected to the dust collector pointed down and the Blast Gate was higher, so that no ABS cement could possibly drip down into the Blast Gate. Later, I did the same procedure to the other side of the "Y" fitting so that I could connect two hoses to different equipment and be able to easily shut off one piece of equipment at a time from dust collection.
With these minor modifications which took me about 1/2 hour, this Blast Gate works perfectly and seals air flow very well. With the modifications I made, I would now rate the 4" Plastic Blast Gate Dust Collector Accessory an inexpensive 5-Star.
