Figure 4-15 shows the dump valve on the high pressure side of the system.

I understand where you are coming from, but it is an example. My point is if the rule doesn't explicitly say it is open for interpretation, or opinions which leads to issues.

Similarly there is no official rule on where the main breaker has to be, and for the rule book to say "strongly recommend" doesn't mean has to be.

It becomes frustrating when others don't "feel" that the breaker or dump valve aren't in the correct place. If the rules aren't going to be explicit about such things then how can teams "fail" inspection? It's kind of like trying to say something isn't art.
