Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

I have to ask the OP to be sure...
OP, You are using a valve to charge a tank and operate a cylinder in the same circuit? Is that what I am reading?

Madison,
In looking at your drawing, I do not see how the stored pressure can be vented immediately by opening the manually operated valve. Should there be a failure in either of the regulators, opening the valve leaves high pressure air still in the tanks. While that may have passed inspection at your events in 2012, I do not think it was legal in 2012 or now.

Please ask the question of the Q&A.
