As a general rule, you don't connect a high pressure and a low pressure
system at all except maybe for a common vent to atmospheric pressure.
You risk having pressure control problems, and if the high pressure
system were to become restricted downstream of the connection for any
reason, you risk blowing up the low pressure system.
