Of course, if it is downstream from a 60psi regulator I wonder if that still applies ... the rules don't see to allow for that ...

Maybe someone can shed some light?

Even more direct is:

If the rated output pressure of the regulator were 60 psi or less, it would violate R75.

Also, yes, I see now that it is relieving. I was checking bullet points and going back to that tab I see I was searching for "releiv" rather than "reliev".
