Possible, but is that SECOND COMPRESSOR designed for 175 psi?
Just for fun, next time you look at air compressors, notice the
"V" arrangement between cylinders. Think of the phasing of the
two pistons, so the first one supplies compressed air to the
second. Also notice the size of the cylinders? Why is one larger
than the other?
For hooking up two seperate compressors to a common manifold, with
a common output... you are OK as long as both are rated at the
same MAXIMUM PRESSURE.
You want LOTS of volume... remember the old Popular Science article
about using 1/2 of a VW engine as a compressor... the other bank
still running! (1970's... uh oh, I am getting older. ;-)
