Any clarification would be great.

You've got the dump valve confused with the relief valve.

The relief valve is the small brass thing on top of the compressor in that diagram. The relief valve prevents the pressure from going too high; the dump valve is used to drain all the air out of the system.

The relief valve must be attached directly to the compressor or attached by suitable brass fittings connected to the compressor output port.

In the pictures/diagrams that you linked to the pressure relief valve is directly connected to the compressors secondary port.

I believe you may be mixing up the pressure switch (which must be on the high side) and the pressure relief valve (which must be hard connected to the compressor.

yeah I just realized that, on the old compressor model I was using it was already placed on the output of the compressor, and I didn't even think about it on this one. Yes it is done correctly on our robot, but I made a mistake on the render, luckily you can't see it on the whole render
