8. If the maximum pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the
connected equipment (e.g. a nitrogen generator or an oxygen generator), a full flow safety
valve must be installed between the compressor and the connected equipment, in order to
be able to blow off the excessive pressure.
