This is certainly a question for the Q&A I think. I like that there is some metal at that port to help cool off the output air. That little compressor does run hot if you run it often.
Thanks Al, will submit a Q&A.

FWIW we have mounted numerous 'hard' brass fittings to the compressor outlet to aid in cooling off the compressed air.

Edit: Q&A here - https://frc-qa.usfirst.org/Question/...fitting-remain
