An idea, why not use the output of the regulator you have to trigger both compressors? If you put a contactor/relay between the regulator output and the left compressor the switching load will not increase for the regulators internal relay. Better yet, get a Time Delayed Contactor set to a couple of seconds so you won't have both the compressors pull starting amperage at the same time.

Did I hear you wanted to hook the compressors into the light circuit? You might need a relay to control a separate circuit for the compressors, check your local codes. In some places code violations could/may invalidate your insurance coverage, my area is one. Also as you have likely been informed already, pressure switches are readily available and simple to install, some are even adjustable to stagger the starting of the motors. I set up two compressors exactly that way, but one is a lower pressure (a freebee at 125 PSI) so they don't usually start at the same time. Using 1/4 in pipe and fittings, I was able to keep both pressure reliefs and put a female quick disconnect on both compressors (one with a valve). The connecting hose has two male connectors and both tanks rest at 150 psi. The valve is to disconnect that hose without a rush of escaping air -if you do it right. It also allow use of only the smaller one to "exercise" the motor, switch and pump because it rarely turns on, besides draining the condensate.

The better way is to include a pig tank, a third tank that receives the air in common from both compressors. Metabo has a 20 gallon tank with multiple connections that works great for this purpose.

How is this way better? So long as the compressor pump meets or, preferably, exceeds the gun's specified cfm rate, you don't need any receiver tank. A receiver is solely for storage. Once you deplete that, you have to wait for a smaller pump to catch-up.

@tomb816 this has two pumps with more capacity the last thing you want is to lose air pressure while painting or do sand blasting for 20 minutes then wait another 5-10 to build up enough for me this setup worked perfect for both and gave me the capacity to do both without issue yes you can buy a massive compressor but I spend maybe 150 bucks and got what I needed

Put a relay box on the compressor that has the switch and run the power of the second compressor through the relay. Otherwise if you are running 110/120, you can split a 220v between the two machines off the 1 one switch. (Just make sure both chassis are grounded together) Or wire a box that runs either hots or neutrals through the switch on one side with the other straight to the motor (hard wire method) If you need to keep both compressors mobile, then the $30 pressure switch would work well and are easy to install before your regulator.

@@NRMotorsports one thing I forgot about was unloading. You should run an unloading tube from the switch to the pipe between the check valve and compressor on the second machine, of it doesnt already have it's own unloader setup (manual governor vs electric) If this isn't done, the compressor will have a higher starting load and can damage the motor and capacitors over time.

Would connecting two compressors to a reserve tank work? I have a 8 gal reserve, also have a few 1 gal. I was thinking - each compressor out into it's own 1 gal tank- then out into 8 gal reserve tank-. I was thinking the 1 gal tanks would allow me to control compressor run time better. I have small compressors and don't want to burn 1 up by it being ran more.

Then off the tee i'm attaching to the wall a loop that goes down then back up to a decent quality double filter with regulator. I only need the 2 compressors when I paint and if needed, I will run one off a generator if the garage circuit can't handle it. I'm hoping this gives me the extra air I need to be able to paint without needing to pause much

I have been kicking around connecting two similar compressors like you did so that I can run my 1 inch air impact and larger hose when needed. The only drawback I see to your setup for my application would be the limited volume of transfer between the compressors. In this configuration you will reduce how long and how often they run as long as it's a continuous moderate flow like painting or a smaller sand blaster. I plan to connect both compressors to a manifold to go to the output hose (1/2- 3/4) hose for the higher volume and reduced restrictions.
