Pneumatic valves

[FRC1771]

Rules <R86> and <R87> seem to limit the pneumatic valves to the ones in the KOP (from this or previous years). However, rule <R88> appears to allow any solenoid valve, regulator, gauge, or fitting, as long as they are off the shelf, and and rated for at least 125 PSI.

My question is: can we use other valves and fittings than those supplied in the kit. Specifically, Valves with larger Cv than the ones in the kit, and other one touch fittings such as muliti-T's etc.

Rule <R88> specifically permits the use of additional (not-Kit Of Parts) solenoid valves and fittings. Valves with a larger internal Cv than the KOP valves are permitted by this rule. Note, however, that all valves and fittings must connect to, and use, 0.160" ID pneumatic tubing. This is a safety constraint (as the Cv for the entire pneumatic system is dominated by the tubing flow rate) and must not be violated.
