What happens here

The question arose about using different tip sizes (e.g., a 515 and a 619). While technically possible, it's not recommended. The manufacturer (Hyde) suggests using tips within specific ranges like 517, 519, 521 for smaller fan widths, or 615, 617, 619, 621 for wider fan widths. It is crucial to use the *same size* for both tips to ensure consistent orifice size and even fan overlap for optimal results. The current setup in the video uses two 517 tips, which appears to be working well, providing a wider, more efficient fan. The staggered design of the extension also helps with optimal fan overlap.

Goal: It's recommended to use two tips of the same size with an overlapping fan width to ensure even coverage, citing specific ranges suitable for the dual-head extension.

What they say

some questions can you run two different tip sizes say like a 515 and a 619 well you can do anything you want but we would probably not recommend it so the they have a handy little chart on the back here and it recommends from a 517 519 521 to a 615 617 619 621 i would keep the same size tip on both because you want that orifice to be the same size and then you want that fan to overlap pretty evenly so right now we're running two 517s on it it seems to be working really well really well five seven teams i mean if you bumped it up to uh six 619 621 your fan width is going to be even greater one of our first questions mine and yours was well why not just run a 30 inch extension with a 1221 if you had um you know two 621s on here you're gonna have a wider fan because you have this width right here yeah so you got a 1221 this width is going to increase your fan width yeah i think so yeah you know we should do it side by side we should have to check that we have to check it out um it does have it's staggered as you can see so they've obviously done some testing
