Hose set up for midi

[Janmara1]

My question is there a way to run 2 different sized hoses on the midi without connecting and reconnecting them
Could I then use an adapter electric plug so that 2 different tools can run on this setup
I presently have the larger diameter hose hooked up for my kapex and it now works great if I were able to utilize the original hose as well to hook up my ro90 this would make my life a lot easier any help as to a setup would be appreciated
Thx

Being a Midi you'll also need this;

Tom gave you the products that you will need. The Y-adapter will not fit into the hose garage of the MIDI to the port opening. So, you will need to use the extension tube to bring the Y-adapter up to a height above that.

strange.. as maybe its because I have a new Midi but the Y adapter just fits in my Midi fine? a little snug but fine.

maybe the hose port is wider now so it can fit?

here is a pic of my blast gate set up with the MIDI, ( expensive but very handy to go back and forth from hoses)

Good to know! That would be a time saver on site for sure!

Good to see that the Y adapter fits the new Midi.

The Y adapter for my CMS will not fit my older Mini or newer Midi.

yes the Y adapter for the CMS doesn't fit in the MIDI, but if you really need it to , you can spend some more money and make both hoses of the Y connection separate hoses and  use this Y connector and at that point it would work.

I use a length of 50 mm wand from Rigid to raise the CMS Y connector above the garage.

I may be mistaken, but the wye accessory and the wye from the CMS may be different  item?

They are different.  Take a look at Benjamin's picture above.

Samo, you are correct.  One of the pics Benjamin posted above shows the two side by side on the top right of the image.  The CMS Y is the shorter one.
