Re: Pneumatic Regulators from Automation Direct

R77 was about the pressure switch last year; I presume the 2015 question was about R66 (F).

I just asked Q926:

Quote:

Q. Is a quick release valve or quick exhaust valve, such as the ones sold by Bimba (#1BQEV), or Automation Direct (QEU14) considered a check valve, and thus a legal pneumatic component under R77 (G), provided other rules are also met?

I agree with Martin that the answer should be no. Check valves have two ports, QEVs have three. I don't see any way to plumb a check valve to make it into a QEV, either.
