    Default Pneumatics Questions

    We have our current pneumatics system set up so air is directly teed off at the compressor. One tee goes to all the FIRST required system, and the other is split off again into two seperate storage areas. Our question comes in here. Since we have the two seperate Areas we would need to seperate main regulator valves (one for each set of 120 psi storage tanks). Can we do this?

    Also the rules state that the safety (automatic) release valve must be connected directly to the compressor. Can we have it connected to the compressor but have a T between it for pressure switch/pressure guage connections? The connection between the compressor and the safety release would be 100% brass so I would assume this would work?

    1- The primary regulator must be located between the high-pressure and low-pressure portions of the system. You may have as many storage tanks in the high-pressure portion of the system as you want, up to the limits specified in Rule <R01-B> and Rule <R71-A>.

    2 - The safety release valve must be connected directly to the compressor. No intermediate fittings, connectors, or devices are permitted.
