I checked with Newell today and they confirmed my hypothesis about the function of the DOT check valve just downstream from my compressor (see my previous post). That valve is no longer need with the newer dryers.
BTW, I bought a very nice used Bendix AD-9 dryer off eBay for about $80 including shipping. When I bought the metal wrapped Teflon lined hose to go between the compressor and dryer it cost $130, the the hose is NEW so how can I complain: Geez Louise I just got hosed.
