2 compressors to 1 tank?

run water traps at the end of each compressor, some like to do a water trap before the valves, but thats up to you and what your running.

i wouldnt tee the psi switch with the comp id do it on its own and away from the compressors as the flow will mess with the switch as the compressor pushs air past it

Yeah.... what they said...

OK I'm confused now. I don't know how I'm going to run both the compressors to their own ports and still have a tank gauge and or drain plug

Or do I have to have a drain plug and or tank pressure guage?

On SD.com it shows how to plumb for 8 valves but using 1 compressor?

my tank has 8 ports.

Can someone please clear this up for me, or if you have a diagram?

Thanks all

1 compressor to port one. second compressor to port two. pressure switch and tank gauge to port three (uses a tee) front left to port four. front right to port five. back left to port six. back right to port seven. port eight is left for what ever you want.
after you connect the fill valves to the tank you can connect a tee and connect your dump valve and airline this is how mine is run. any questions just ask.

so do you have a drain plug?

if yours has a port on the bottom of the tank you can use that as port eight and put a drain plug in there if you want.

I get it,

now its OK that the pressure switch and the tank gauge shares a port

Also on the water traps are they treaded on both sides of the trap so I can put it on my tank then the compressor?

thanks
