That sentence would make the system illegal. Any one valve would have to remove ALL pressure from the system. We had two on our robot last year (because we forgot to take one off while testing part of it) and the inspector made sure that we didn't have any pressure behind it when the main valve was released.

Again, any air trapped when any one valve is opened will cause your robot to fail inspection. Ignore our multiple warnings at your own risk.
