I've seen threads related to but not answering this question.  I want a y adapter to hookup to my vac that can take two 36mm hoses, but i need blast gates on them.  The cms y hose is exactly what im looking for, but i want both hoses to be 36mm.  As many others have found, moving a single hose between the chop saw and track saw is becoming annoying.  I see many guys just buy another vac, but I want a simple y with two blast gates.  Has anyone found another maker who makes what I'm looking for, or has festool made something for this?  Any advice is much appreciated.
 
Thanks guys, I already own the y and one blast gate, so i guess I'll need to order another blast gate. Seems a little clunky, but it will work.  Too bad the y doesn't come with blast gates on it.

Bob's link comes up a little short, try this one, Y adapter.  You could add a couple of these, CT Dust Extractor Blast Gate, but that'll get pricy in a hurry.

The festool solution will set you back $145 dollars for two blast gates and one Y adaptor.  A little Pricy

Is there an echo in here.... [poke] [big grin]

Redundancy is not a bad thing at all. Seems by the description of blast gate it was made with the ac filter in mind, not necessarily for what I am thinking about. Wonderful to have an answer so fast. Maybe festool will read this and make the y adapter with gates in them and send me a cms for the idea.   ;) seems like many would buy it.

I made a mistake thinking the cms hose had gates in them.  Wonder what the buttons on the y part that look like gate switches are.  Hose connectors?
 
I also wish they made such an animal. I have the y hose connector and blast gates, but it gets pretty clunky and heavy when I use it with my Dust Deputy. It'd certainly be nice to have it all in one unit.
 
Not sure of the part # but Fein makes a "y" adapter that fits the Festool vacs for alot cheaper ($8). That would cut down on the cost a little on the blast gate setup.
