You mean using a y distribution block with 2 bottles into one supply line?

if your doing it for looks id just hook one up at a tiem. could just run a fake line from the other if you want looks.

then swap the line to the other when its empty

Exactly, the other bottle is just more dead weight that you're lugging around.

buy a Y fitting and 2 short braided lines is the simplest way to do it.

Is a 2 stage system out of the question? Dual nozzles, dual fogger setups, or dual plates...I'm not sure what your poison is exactly but it would let you turn one on at a time, etc, leave one alone whenever, blah blah...It would double the hardware pretty much..lines jets nozzles solenoids wiring.

denny.........ssshhhh.

yeah something along those lines, however i'm just interested in how the two are connected typically which i pretty much figured was through a y design.

i will be running a y design but the rest will be pretty different...

"Plumbing dual bottles"
On the LS car , One -8 feeds the passenger side solonid and that feeds those 4 nozzles. The drivers side nozzles are also done in the same fashion. There is a pair of "tees" , "T" with the tail of the tees connected together so it forms a "H" <<. Then the bottom of each leg of the "H" go's to the bottles and the top of the "H" feeds as stated above.
This was to keep the pressure drop in control due to running jet sizes 42 and up...per cylinder!
If your going big hose this is the method to use and you CHANGE the bottles every pass.

If your running single plate, I'd run -8 from each bottle into a Barry Grant Y block to single -6 or -8 to the solonid.
You will "excite" the discharge with lager feed line behind the noid.
Don't let these guys wack on ya your nitrous pressure will only drop 25 to 30 pounds if that with that amount of cylinder [bottle] volume feeding the system. For a index/ bracket car on the hose its all about maintaing consistant passes and your doing the right thing.

If you run both bottles at the same time, They will last alot longer then just running one bottle at a time. I Ran 2 bottles with electric remotes and bottle heaters and It was great. I would get a ton of runs at the track. When I was on the street. The bottles would last me a month easy and I was using it frequently Spraying 150 HP. I wouldnt just run a fake line. It will cost you about 25.00 for the Y-fitting and 2 hoses.

100lbs for every .1 off your time.....for a street car and since i have it it won't kill me to use it, looks cool anyhow. now if i was running some 8 sec monster or faster then yeah i could understand but she'll work as it is.
