First, I do not know of a robot inspector who will allow this to pass.

Second, the PRV is a backup protection to your wiring and code (which must be demonstrated to the inspector) and not a primary protection.

Third, with the compressor running all the time, it is gonna get really hot and fail...

JMHO,

Mike
