- I hook both my compressors together to get more flow. Here’s what I used to do it.

Great video , I wish more lights and details about connecting the lines.
well, you almost got it right. i run a quiet tech with an oiled compressor for dual duty. in this case for your situation/use, you should run a 1/4" high flow quick connect from under the on/off switch port facing right to your hub. 1/4" is good, 3/8" is better for max CFM and pressure to your hub regulator. running from the upper regulators on your tanks, your loosing 2 quick connects, loosing way to much cfm and you don't need to double regulate.
How well does this work for a sand blaster? I’m getting into powder coating as a hobby for my motorcycles and need a decent air compressor or this set up for garage. Already have one of these compressors.
One did … ok-ish for the blast cabinet. Two works really well. I’m trying to figure out how to add something into the system so I can show everyone how much cfm it’s putting out with two. But one can do the job, just takes a little longer.
Don't you need to add check valve so the compressors ain't pushing air back into the cylinder head of the compressor
Yes and No. Yes, I do need to put a check valve in both lines going out to the T. I’m still trying to locate one. However, the lines are coming directly out of the tank, so when one does have more pressure than the other, it’s just leveling out the air in both tanks.
Old. House.ok
So how has this been working so far and did you add or change anything to it?
It worked great! Only thing I would like to add, but it’s not necessary is some kind of one way check valve after the “T”, just as double assurance of nothing leaking back. But even the bit of leak back it has, seems good to go after months of usage like that.
@@autogarage20 NICE!!!.. I did the same setup so I can paint my car.. (when the weather warms up a little).. glad to know it works.... THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND RESPONSE..💪🏾👍🏿👍🏿
Oh 1 more question.... does this combine both CFM as an increase..or is it the same CFM but just more gallons for compressor????
Ya know honestly I haven’t looked into that. I’ll have to research on that and maybe pop it in a video or make a short to show the answer/info. I’m gonna guess it’s doing a bit of both. Probably more on the more gallons side . But it was no issue with my hvlp gun when I painted the back of my car I can say that much.
@@autogarage20 ok.. I'm curious because I have an HTE gun that requires 10cfm and if combined then I would have 12+cfm.. I really want to try it out... also have LVLP guns to use but I really want to give the HTE a try.
Nice and simple. How has it been working?
It’s been working great! I still am trying to figure out how to have a one way check valve on both lines so that the air from one doesn’t leak into the other. Not a huge issue but makes me nervous it might ruin either compressor or break something.
