Default Festo on suction side of pump

Hello RCU,

I have been running my Cheetah SE and have not seen any major issues with it. I am considering another Jet Cental turbine purchase but have been wondering why Jet Central decided to use a festo connection on the PowerPack from the factory on the suction connection. I was under the impression that this is not recommended, that Festo fittings are designed ONLY for pressure, not vacuum.

Is there any testing which Jet Central performed to disprove the tribal knowledge? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
