Double Your Dust Control for Larger Grinders

When you step up to a larger grinder, a single dust collector often isn’t enough to keep up with the dust and debris it produces. The Tandem Connector Assembly solves that — it lets you run two 3003AR dust collectors together on one machine, combining their airflow to handle the heavier dust load of bigger grinders.

The assembly’s “Y” connector merges the two collectors into a single hose connection at your grinder, so both units pull together as one high-capacity dust extraction system. It’s the simple, effective way to get the dust control your larger grinder demands without stepping up to a single oversized collector.

What’s Included

• (1) “Y” Connector — merges two collectors into one grinder connection
• (2) 2″ × 6ft Hoses — connect each collector to the Y
• (2) 3″ Quick-Fit Connectors — for fast, secure hookup

Everything you need to pair two 3003AR collectors and get running.

Why Run Two Collectors in Tandem?

• Keep up with larger grinders — bigger machines produce more dust than a single collector can capture
• Better dust capture — combined airflow means cleaner air and a cleaner job site
• Stay OSHA-compliant — proper dust control is essential for silica safety on larger grinding operations
• Use the collectors you already have — pair two 3003ARs instead of buying a single large-capacity unit

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the tandem connector assembly do? It lets you run two 3003AR dust collectors together on a single larger grinder. The “Y” connector combines both collectors’ airflow into one hose connection, giving you the dust-capture capacity that bigger machines need.

Why would I need two dust collectors? Larger grinders generate more dust than a single collector can handle. Running two in tandem keeps up with the heavier dust load, keeps your air cleaner, and helps you stay compliant with silica dust regulations.

What’s included in the assembly? A “Y” connector, two 2″×6″ hoses, and two 3″ quick-fit connectors — everything you need to pair two 3003AR collectors.
