Heatilator rear to top vent adapter ??

I was just looking at brochures and came across the Heatilator Rear to Top vent adapter.

Anyone have experience with this?

Looks like it offers an OEM solution to the sometimes troublesome cleanout T's. I find the T's sometimes leaky, and always difficult to undo for cleanings. This product looks like it has a cleanout door and side access. Guess it would be bad if your access is from the other side.

Here's a install manual showing it on page 8:

I'm not affiliated with this; just looking for a personal review.

Opted out for this accessory, a little pricey. My T is no problem, just don't overtighten the bottom cap when reinstalling. How'bout it? Anyone have one of these?
