(Warning: extrapolating ahead…)
I use a 28XX tank on the CCP2 processor to do 7x17” sheets. It holds 2 nicely. The sheets fit around the curve and “snap” securely into the areas between ribs. Never had any new pop out with a couple of hundred sheets done this way…
Without ever having touched a piece of 11x14”, I’m wondering whether these, too, would do the same (assuming 2x7”=14”)?
(As a sub note, I am also interested to find out if 8x10” sheets will also work in this tank as there is a 1” gap between the rib I use for 7x17 and the rib diagonally across from the starting rib).

I had some issues with the 28xx tanks and certain films, where the back of the film would not get wet during processing. I did come up with a solution that worked for me, but now I usually get out the 3005 drum, even for 2 sheets. That expert drum has yielded perfectly processed negatives, even when accidentally loaded emulsion side out!

Agreed with the 3005. Expensive, but unrivalled.

I don’t have wetting issues with 7x17 in 28XX tanks.
I doubt you will, either, should 11x14” fit securely. This is based on the 11x14 sheet going over a rib, whereas 8x10 doesn’t.
