I just traded in my single bank 10" filter press on a double bank 10" press. I was wondering what everybody typically does on a double bank press for the hoses coming out of the press. I was thinking about installing a check valve on each output and connecting the banks together so I don't have to worry about having two different hoses. Has anybody done this or have any suggestions?

Only double 10" I have seen has a ball valve coming out of each bank into a T for intake and discharge.

I have a double 10 and the just use 2 seperate hoses. Has never been a concern nor has it ever gotten int the way. I like taking them off every night and throwing them into the hot water bath to wash. Not sure about using a check valve. You may be overthinking it.
