How to put two tanks together

[airgunmike56]

Whats the cheapest best way to connect two 97 cu FT tanks together, Ones my out side tank I fill from shooting and ones my inside tank I air the guns up before I take them out , I would like to combine the tanks and just have an inside Tanks..

a situation where the valves are left on would invite a slow leakdown but they could be easily balanced with just a hose assuming they both have a fill station assembly with foster .

You could go to a local dive shop and see how they connect their bank of tanks. Most of them are friendly and helpful.

Cascade fill the rifles. Use the lowest PSI tank to fill first and then use the topped off tank to fill the rest of the rifle. Also, I recommend Joe B if you want to purchase a cascade hose assembly. Excellent vendor - http://www.airtanksforsale.com/

I use a tee block from air tanks plus to tether tanks. Works great, came with a protective zipper pouch and extra seals.

This. Joe B made me one. I prefer it to the tman because all 3 hose fittings are quick release.

Not sure I understand what your intended purpose or reasoning is. Could you clarify? Do you want to manifold them together & why? They CAN be manifolded easily with parts you can put together but to what advantage?

Thanks, Just putting the two tanks together I can fill to 4500 PSI for a long time. Thanks every time I call Joe at Tanks for sale I spend big money,

Don't see that connecting two 4500psi tanks would give any more fills than using them one at a time. It would just be spending more money on "fixtures" that would not yield any greater number of useable fills. When one tank is done, just shift fill adapter to 2nd tank, takes 30 seconds. Why spend the bucks? Connecting them doesn't provide MORE air or greater pressure. You still use tank #1 to fill as high as it will allow (bulk fill) & use tank #2 to "top off" to level you are seeking. If anything, you might buy a 2nd fill adapter (1 for each tank). Just my humble opinion (earned through experience)

No it does not provide more air, but it lets you USE the air in your tank down to a lower pressure before refilling. It is not very expensive. For a HIGHER pressure (>4500 in the case of say a Huben K1), I use an Ayrrtek booster.
