Dust Collector Ball Valve for 4-inch metal ducts – coming Winter 2026.

dirty dust collection blast gate

Have you ever heard a woodworker say, “I love my blast gates!?”

No? Me neither.

Blast gates gets don’t get much love because:

  • sawdust builds up in the tracks,
  • which makes them bind,
  • can be difficult to open and close,
  • they leak and whistle, or
  • they’re loose and the open by themselves.

The Hedgehog Ball Valve solves each of those problems!

  • unrestricted airflow,
  • near 100% sealing when closed (it measures 100% but I hesitate to make that claim),
  • self-cleaning
  • simple to open and close by simply rotating the handle,
  • tell at a glance if it’s open or closed,
  • future proof: designed for automatic motor control – coming 2027!
