Seems to me the pressure drop across the combination valve can only be
caused by the shuttle valve moving at about 500 psi and completely blocking
the rear outlet. Otherwise, the outlet pressure would eventually reach the
input pressure. Only that scenario separates the normally single closed
system into two "independent" systems.
