Help!!! I just got 2 5 lpm Everflo Respironics oxygen concentrators and would like to connect them for more pressure. Any suggestions??
Thanks,

you will not get more pressure....both concentrators should be setup with the same output flow and pressure and when combined with a tee, you will get UP TO 10 l/m, but probably less.

You should get up to 10 lpm but 8 is more realistic.

To do this put a T in the air line to join 2 into 1.
