      Help With Air Compressor Regulator Layout

      Thanks to all who gave advice in my other thread:

      https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=62992

      I'm now ready to complete the regulator/filter piping and I wanted to run this idea past you guys. I want a system I can run tools from and also spray (wood and metal parts -not cars) with. So starting from the right side of the diagram below, my supply line is 3/4" which would go directly into a 3/4" regulator/filter combo and filter the big stuff. With the ball valve closed it would allow me to run tools/sandblast cabinet ect. without dropping the pressure and using the extra filtration from the second regulator/filter unit. If it's open, then the second regulator/filter is used. The check valve keeps the air in the correct "system".

      I'm no engineer, so please comment on a better solution or if this won't work. Again, I won't be painting cars, just want a good home shop set-up. By the way, the diagram is not to scale and is just a mock-up.




      Thanks,

      Here is a couple of pics of my set up. I built a storage shed outside of my garage to hold the two compressors and dryer. When I'm really cutting and grinding I use both compressors and have 160 gal of air on hand.
      This set up looks similar to yours, looks like you are on the right track.
