I'd read that as the relief valve must be connected to a legal fitting that's directly connected to the compressor. So you attach a T fitting to the compressor output and then the relief valve to one side of the T and a tubing connector or whatever else to the other side.

The rules don't say that you have to use brass fittings, just that they have to be rated for 125 psi. If you can find plastic fittings rated for that, then that works too.
