What component is not connected directly to the service valve on a DOT cylinder?

Regulator
Excess flow check valve
Relief valve
Liquid withdrawal valve

The correct answer is: Excess flow check valve

The excess flow check valve is not typically connected directly to the service valve on a DOT cylinder. Instead, it is integrated into the system to protect against potential hazards by shutting off the flow of gas if the flow rate exceeds a certain limit. This function is crucial for safety, particularly in preventing excess gas from escaping in the event of a line break or failure. In contrast, the regulator is directly attached to the service valve as it is responsible for reducing the high pressure from the cylinder to a usable pressure for applications. The relief valve is also connected to ensure that any overpressure conditions in the system can be safely vented. The liquid withdrawal valve, used for drawing out liquid from the cylinder, directly interfaces with the service valve as well. All of these components are essential for safe operation and are directly linked to the service valve to maintain system integrity and prevent safety hazards.
