Sorry to be replying to an older topic but I went searching for GRIT Automation products and this one popped up --plus-- I enjoyed the discussion of Norfab and other types of clamp-together systems.
My question is how do you like the GRIT system after using it for a while? I was set to run with iVAC until I came across a video (?on the GRIT system and became intriqued. I have three-phase equipment receiving power through a Phase Perfect. ?I would like to automate some blast gates as well as be able to remotely turn on/off my RL 160 that is in a closed-in lean-to attached to the back of my building with a little bit of a hike to get out to it.
I would also like to comment on Blast Gate co. I decided to go with Blast Gate after getting Norfab quotes. I have made multiple orders with Blast Gate as there was no way I was going to completely nail every single part I needed the first or even fifth time. As I was installing the ducting, I would run into an obstacle or I would realize I really wanted to run the ducting or drop differently and had to submit another order. I worked with Dan McCulla who has been absolutely phenomenal as well as patient as hell with my endless questions. Norfab is a heavier gauge but after receiving my Blast Gate ducting/fitting, I'm not certain that, for my usage, heavier gauge would be worth the additional price of Norfab. I am a small one-person (sometimes two-person when my son comes over) so the Blast Gate ducting will more than suffice.
