Purpose of off-board Vent Plug?
If you have an off-board compressor, per R89, and pictures in R85 and R86, the off-board compressor setup must have a pressure vent plug.

What is the purpose of the off-board pressure vent plug?

Without the off-board plug, if the compressor is disconnected from the robot, the system never builds pressure - which is ok.

If the compressor is connect to the robot, the on-board pressure vent plug is redundant to an off-board vent plug.
