That is going compressor, storage tanks, relief valve/ regulator....

Any clarification would be great.

The relief valve must be attached directly to the compressor or attached by suitable brass fittings connected to the compressor output port.

In the pictures/diagrams that you linked to the pressure relief valve is directly connected to the compressors secondary port.

I believe you may be mixing up the pressure switch (which must be on the high side) and the pressure relief valve (which must be hard connected to the compressor.
