    DC fittings

    Does anyone make an adapter to attach 2 2.5" hoses into a 4" hose.

    Or a way to make a custom fitting. I have the ones rockler sells but I need daul hoses for some tools.

    thanks...

      I don't think I've ever seen a symmetrical (2) 2-1/2" to (1) 4" splitter, similar to the (2) 4" to (1) 5"/6" fitting on many dust collectors impeller inlets. But you could use a 2-1/2" wye fitting with a reducer fitting on the "downstream" end.

          Here are a couple I made recently. They probably took allof of 15 minutes to make from scrap. Y's I haven't had a need to make in the 2 1/2" variety.

              I used a 4" X 2.5" Y (4" in and out with 2.5" Y) and added a 2.5" reducer on the 4" upstrean side. All parts are at Woodcraft.

                      Here are 3 links to take a look at:

                      According to Rocker Tech support, Rocker Item # 63577 provides a 2 1/2" threaded connection to a 4" unthreaded quick connect coupler. However, the Rocker web site only shows the 4" to 4" photo.
