    Default Direct Acting Valve in Vacuum?

    We have a direct acting solenoid valve rated for 100 psi that we wish to use expressly in our vacuum loop.Though not rated for 125 psi, it is more than adequate for the vacuum it will be operating in. Is it acceptable to use?

    No. Under Rule <R105>, all "off the shelf" pneumatic devices must be rated for at least 125 psi. There is no exception for devices that are used for vacuum applications.
