Hello Dean, The blastgates I bought are 4" OD on both ends.....I think the quick disconnect ones have two different size ends and need to be used with another connector?
I bought the #85006 ones.....$5.99

Since I used all my gates at a wye I needed to make a donut to adapt the gate to the large wye opening (1 1/2" ID)......I just measured the depth of the lip on the wye (1 3/4" deep) and take a piece of 4" PVC pipe and measure off 1 3/4" from a clean, square end and.......using a hacksaw I cut me a donut!

My ceiling air cleaner works great.....I mostly turn it on when I'm stirring up dust like sanding or sweeping.
I just got the unit the first of this year when the weather was warmer.....I usually have my large garage door open anytime it's warm outside, so I'm anxious to see how it does when all the doors are closed in the shop this winter!......
As for grounding the ductwork........the jury is still out on that one!
