Hello all: I have two large Gilbarco gas station compressors which I would like to run in tandem in the hope of getting enough air to sandblast without frustration. How do I go about hooking them up

Seems like you could just tee them into the distribution lines. If you run only one compressor, the other's tank would just act like extra air lines or an 'air pig' (tank with no compressor) plumbed

I would be interested in other's replies to this message, as I have a similar Keystone compressor that I am planning to use in the shop. I would think, however that one of them would do the job by it

My neighbor did this with a pair of 5hp compressors, and it is not as easy as you might think. If you just hook up the outlets, then only one compressor motor will run (the cut-in points will never m

It's unlikely that both compressors will have the same cut-in/out points. So, say that compressor A is set up for cut-in at 110 and out at 140, and compressor B is set up for cut-in at 100 and out at

I agree with Eric. If only one compressor runs in this configuration, then you aren't drawing more air than it can supply. As soon as you draw more air than one compressor can supply, the pressure wi

I have an idea that should work well for this application. Install a check valve on the outlet of both tanks and then "T" the two lines together. This would not allow the air from one compressor to e

With OR without the check valves you mention, the system will still work just as you described, as long as the pressure cut in points are different. See Eric Murray's post. He described it perfectly.

With out the check valves the first compressor to start will be filling both tanks. Depending where the lower one cuts in at the first on can override it by filling the other tank and you end up wit

Apparently I'm missing something you're saying. I'm going to go through it step by step and you tell me what I'm missing. This I agree with. Are you talking about a system where the cut in/cut out ra

The check valves could be purchased through a place that sells hydraulic hose and fittings. Check in the yellow pages. These places usually deal in pneumatic components as well. Ron Olds
