Default Position of blast gates

Okay, I did a google, but did not find the answer. For a dust collection
system, where should the blast gates be placed for each machine drop? Six
inches from each machine, or just past the 'Y' coming from the main line?
Does it matter?

Thanks, Jon Oman


So long as the line doesn't leak, it is irrelevant where you put them.
Oh, I suppose if they were right up flush with the main line you might
see a difference in the third decimal place or so, but for all practical
purposes, it doesn't matter.

Put them where it is most convenient.
