I see that your team has asked the GDC (Q360) if the check valve supplied with Viair model 250C-IG compressor is legal.
If that check valve is considered a part of the compressor, then NOT using it would violate R65. If it is considered a separate part, then using it would violate R66.
Based on the GDC's response to 2014 Q325, I think the hose AND the check valve that come from the manufacturer should be considered parts of the compressor, and therefore required per R65. Of course my opinion is worthless at inspection.
Eagerly awaiting the GDC's word on 2015 Q360.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
