mounting relief valve

[Andrew Schuetze]

Well the GDC reply to the posting makes a very clear statement that I still don't see in <R95>.

The pressure relief valve must be connected directly to the Thomas compressor. No intermediate connectors are permitted. This is required by Rule <R95>.

This would disallow adding an adapter so that one can mount it on the opposite side of the compressor. Not being a lawyer with the rules, I read

The relief valve must be attached to the compressor. If the compressor is not used on the ROBOT, then an additional relief valve must be obtained and included in the primary pneumatic circuit on the ROBOT

as being able to add an adapter to mount it to the compressor but can now see a literal meaning that the valve must be directly connected to the compressor via the GDC clarification. I post this response only to provide insight into future definitions in the robot design document.

Interesting note, if one doesn't use the compressor, the size of the of the port to which you are attaching relief valve to does not matter.
