Re: Air recievers...?
You need to thread in the NPT (nominal pipe thread) to tube adapters to the thread beneath the green caps. These parts came in the SMC bag that you recieved this week.
In case you you are not aware NPT is a tapered thread so you DO NOT need to bottom out the fittings as I have seen many try to do. You need tighten them until they are snug with an approiately sized wrench (not a 12" adjustable) and leak check at low pressure.
To attactch them to your robot just use hose clamps or zipties.
The recievers are used to store air at 120 psi before it is regulated down for the rest of the system.
