Glad to hear that, based on your experience, the device operates the same way that a "pressure relieving regulator" is generally understood to work.

What a relief, huh?

The nitra regulator is actually a metal works regulator (or at least marketed as metal works). I have used the metal works variety since 2014,. they are for sure relieving. I used them on the 3309 's 2014 robot in the intake to relieve air from impacts in addition to running the intake at lower pressure.
the metal works documents are a lot better with their symbols but not perfect:

I have not noticed a difference from the nitra and metal work samples I have now.
