Im wondering if it would cause any problems if I ran 2 machines on 1 tank, using a T fitting on the bulkhead fitting, and just ran hose on each side to 2 machines?
My worries are them fighting each other for water and starving one, or am I overthinking? the bulkhead fitting is 2 inch, as well as the T fitting, down to 1 inch Hose barb on each side.
@Innocentbystander does. I saw them! Wish I’d paid better attention to the plumbing. If he doesn’t respond I’ll look back in my pics from his shop
My last set up i ran a T to two machines (4gpm and 5.5) no problem. I would say its best to have a large bulkhead , at least 1in but bigger would be better. A 1in pipe can free flow up to 20gpm, so belt/gear drives will pull what they need.
Two machines must really drain a tank quick ! 
Yea I plan on running my 4gpm belt drive and 3.5 gpm gear drive on it. The gear drive was my first machine, upgraded to this 4gpm+(cat pump, honda) and loving it. the 3.5 would be for any helper I have on site, knocking out driveways while i soft wash
You’ll have no issues running off of one bulkhead if it’s 2 inch down to 1 inch
Yes. I Run 2 bulkheads with 1’ hoses for each machine.
I run a 5.5 and 4 off a 65 gallon buffer tank with a 1.5" down to two 1" feeds to each machine. Zero problems. I however moving up to a 125 gallon tank because i had a few times where the buffer tank couldn’t keep up. Only about 10% of the time but enough to drive me nuts. My machines are also belt drive.
I run an 8 and a 5.5 off two 1" feeds. You do have to be aware of the water replacement rate but most of the time it is not an issue.
Thank you everyone!
I run two 5.5’s off of a 275 tote. One bulkhead 2 inch that Y splits to two 1 inch feeds. Never had a problem with this setup
As per everyone I’ve ever talked to…a T fitting is just another 90 degree fitting and 90 degree fittings slow down water…now this is what I have…makes me feel like my water is more streamlined…weather it really makes a difference or not I’m not sure… guess if I was really bored I could do a bucket test.
That’s not a good idea
Curious as to why a Y isn’t a good idea but a T is fine? Same principal less restriction
You have much more restriction with that unless I’m missing something and that is 2 inch Y. Not an @Ikii 2 inches. If you are feeding two machines from one bulkhead head: come out with 2 inch bung hole to a 2 inch Tee. On both sides of Tee put a ball valve. From there step down to 1 inch bowl filter and 1 inch supply hose.
That’s just how I was thinking. Does it matter how long the water inlet hose is? In my instructions it says not to use less than 15ft of supply hose.
Are you bored?
Wanna start stirring ■■■■ up again?
@Innocentbystander gotcha makes total sense…lol… no it’s not his kind of 2"…its a 1"x 1" x 1"…I’m a one man show so I never run 2 machines at once…I just have 2 machines hooked up at once… never thought about if I ever had to run them both at the same time …ahhh the changes I’m going to make on my next trailer build!!!..lol…im also going to be on the lookout for a 2x2x2 Y fitting though…
…im going to go get my popcorn now don’t want to miss anything!
Come on, that was meant as a joke. You know I love you.
