Connecting two compressors for more volume?

Bob,

I know your post is a little old and you may have fixed your problem. This is for thought:

Two electric compressors will always require electricity.
A gasoline compressor is portable and can be used anywhere. One gasoline and one electric compressor can also be run in parallel.

When you need shop air run your electric.
When you need portable air, run the engine compressor.
When you need lots of air, which may not be often, run both in parallel.

An electric compressor is very difficult to run on a generator. If you want maximum versatility with air then get a gasoline compressor. My second compressor is a 5.5 hp Emglo "wheel barrow" unit bought off ebay. The old blue Emglo units are hard to beat. I think Dewalt bought the company for the name and may now use imported compressors instead of the good USA Emglo made units.

I love my emglo and would recomend the gas units to anyone.



The gas compressor has power to spare for nail guns, impact wrenches, spray equipment, and for blowing out wells.
