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. |
For those who are following here but don't check the Q&A, this was not answered by close of business on Friday.

It's cool to see that Shaun White is an active team member (6th person from top left). That guy must be amazing, as he can win a gold medal in snowboarding while also being active on a FIRST Robotics team. - Andy Baker [more]
