I cleaned 60-dining chairs and the seat cushions to 14-living room chairs. The other tech did the 14 chair bases and 6-ottomans. 10:00-2:00 then back to office to pay bills and hope my arm didn't fall off.

We always dual upholstery with our Butlers--I'm sure you could triple and probably quad if you wanted to. Tip to maintain better heat--nix the pressure hose reel and use a 50' hose from your console. Perfect heat for PMF internal jets.

When I was super busy with a lot of upholstery (30 years ago) I hurt my right elbow. Tendonitis they said. I was put in a cast and went cold turkey from cleaning for a few weeks. I decided that I needed to make upholstery cleaning easier. Had a local fabricator make me more ergonomic tools--industry offerings were not acceptable. Built several tables for upholstery cleaning including straps to hold cushions in place. What a difference good equipment makes.! Using my new tools, my tendonitis disappeared and I have not looked back. True story.

I thought that a T splitter would not work as well as it will not deliver the same even suction on both ends.
Always used a Y splitter.

Is it Minnesota different?

You are correct...T splitter not as good as Y splitter...but my only Y splitters were 2.5 inch, and I left every Y splitter back at the shop....

Long story....but this is what I had from an "earlier put together need something fast" moment and it was still laying in the back of the van....

My brother has my other 2 inch Y splitter right now too....

This worked fine for upholstery ....but would not use it otherwise....
