Another useful item that AutomationDirect sales that not enough teams use is 1/4" push connect plugs.
Very useful for closing off solenoids and things. Much easier then using a T fitting and a loop of tube like some teams do.
It's only a check valve if you plug the exhaust port. You could also plug any other port on the system and violate the rules by trapping air.
