Just wanted to escalate an issue we found last night which is conceptually a simple fix but could use more eyes. The yellow air hose running between the blue pressure tank adjacent to the laser cutter is currently being pinched under to door to the paint room where it connects with the main air pressure line. Not placing any blame, this could easily be the result of somebody laying a hose and then others just trying to close the door after.
Currently, this hose easily ends up pinched in the very corner, preventing the door from closing and seriously crimping the hose. We looked around and found that there are already some holes in the wall to the paint room near the window by laser cutter, and longer term, this hose should probably be routed through there. Unfortunately, when the yellow hose is disconnected from the main air pressure pipe, it continuously vents pressurized air (ask me how I know) and at a quick glance, we didn’t see any other shutoff valves near the blue tank that would let us disconnect this hose without venting the entire tank down to ambient pressure.
For now, the hose can be wedged out of the very corner and under the frame where it isn’t as pinched, but it’s just a short term solution. Any ideas how to go about this without venting the tank or is it the only way?
Also around to help look were @ddq @Brad @xquared just for completeness
