Default Quick connect/disconnect fittings for Dust Collector

I just bought the Delta 50-760 dust collector and I'm interested in
having the ability to hook it to different machines at different times,
rather than run a system of ductwork to each machine. What I'm
planning is attaching a short length of 5" hose to the
DC with a 5" connector on the end. At each machine (jointer, planer,
TS, router table) I plan to have an attachment that will mate to the 5"
connector on the end of the DC hose. Does this sound like an
efficient, feasible plan? For example, on my jointer I'll have an
attachment to the 4" hood that came with it that will widen to fit the
5" hose on the DC. Same for the TS. Any suggestions as to quick
connect devices? Am I correct in running the 5" hose as far as I can,
and shrinking to the appropriate size at each machine?

Thanks.
