How To Connect 2 Tanks?

[mcnaught82]

Does anybody have a diagram on how to connect 2 air tanks together. I want to run 2 compressors. and 8 3/8" valves. the way want to connect it up is have 2 valve at each wheel than run each line directly to the tanks.

I have seen people link them with just straight airline. all it takes is the fitting to accept the line.

I have seen pics of this truck, but its kinda hard to follow the lines on how its all connected.

Top line is the one that connects the two tanks, other lines are from the compressors and to the valves

what are you looking for a diagram of linking 2 tanks, or plumbing your system?

hpoefully you have 1 tank that has at least 7,8, or 9 ports . the ports you dont use ( for airline , pressure switch, compressors. ) connect air line to the other tank, ( the other tank only has to have 4 or so ports ) so if you have 6 out of 8 or 9 ports un used on the first tank , use those 2 extra ports to connect to the 2nd tank......

I know how to connect up all the valves and lines, what I want to do is connect the front bags to 1 tank than connect the rear bags to the 2nd tank than connect both tanks together and connect 2 compressors so that the air is even in both tanks at all times.

the air will be even in both tanks , just connect unused ports and configure the line placement how ever u want ( the two front air lines to one tank , the two rear airlines to the other tank ), come on , thats pretty much it . draw a diagram with both tanks and their ports and figure out where you want your lines, compressors, pressure switch, and the line connection between the two tanks. then get the right fittings and connect them. like i said before , both tanks will have equal pressure , if ur that worried , make the connection between the two tanks with 5/8'' line and 1/2'' or 3/8'' fittings ( depending on what size ports u have on your tanks ) some tanks have 1/2'' ports ,some have 3/8'' ports , so what ever ports size u have , go up one size with your air line and u should be good...... good luck, post some pics when you get the system all plumbed..
