Bleed Valve between Inline Reg and PCP? [SOLVED] w/ hand drawn art ; )

[Bernie7]

When using an inline regulator from your tank to PCP do you also need a pressure release valve in between the regulator and PCP? Or will opening the valve on the tank drain air from the entire line? For those who are visual please see my drawing below (yes, I know I have Monet level abilities ; )

Would I need a something like this https://airtanksplus.com/product/bleed-valve-inline-hand-tight/ where the pink dot is?

Basically- does opening the pressure release valve on the tank would only drop line pressure between the tank and the regulator but not regulator to PCP?

Thank you!

Connect your tank to the output of the regulator and open the valve a quick tiny bit and see for your self if the reg bleeds the air. If not you'd still be able to use the tank bleed valve.

heres some ideas from various contraptions ive put together .. ones a simple bleeder fitting witha 347, the altoros is an inline reg 'with' a bleeder, and the back one is a shutoff valve with bleeder and guage and the bleeder only bkeeds the output side with valve closed .. you can find nonsense like this at dive shop supply places or ebay lol ...

I like the use of the Altaros reg, great way to repurpose if the device it’s fitted into fails.

Once again this site has provided a wealth of knowledge!

But I have to say I’m still disappointed no one has commented on my masterpiece

If you need one you can put one together similar to this a lot cheaper.
