If you say there is already a default relief valve on the compressor, is it a must to put another relief valve in the circuit?
The one on the compressor is to ensure that you don't go over a safe pressure. The manual one (with that black valve) allows you to drain the air manually. You probably want that on so you don't have to run a cylinder multiple times to drain the system.


I honestly don't know about the 125 psi valve.
