Re: Pneumatic Layout (Does it work?)

Compressor to a brass T fitting. The "stem" (vertical) part of the T runs to a pressure gauge, the other end is run to the resevoir. The resevoir runs out to another brass T where the stem runs to a quick connect fitting to run tubing to a double solenoid and the other end of the T runs to a pressure switch to shut off compressor. The tubing runs to the double solenoid and out of the d.s. to the pneumatic cylinder.

If more detail or more parts are needed, please tell me.

Thanks!
It would work outside of FIRST, but I dont think it's FIRST legal.

Heres how I would do it

Compressor to resevoir through the pressure switch (the pressure switch is on a "T" brass fitting) to gauge (also on a "T" fitting) to release/cutoff valve to solenoids.

Hope it helps
