amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor.
Drain Petcock - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi,
