Although since they were in a previous KOP you could assume they are legal, but I cannot find any documentation on the specs to show that. I don't think it safe to assume older KOP items are legal to current rules (think FP motors ...).
B. Solenoid valves with a maximum ⅛” NPT port diameter, and a maximum Cv of 0.32 (if non-KOP valves are used, the team will be required to provide part documentation validating that the valves meet these constraints).
Solenoid valves that are rated for a maximum working pressure that is less than 125psi rating mandated above are permitted, however if employed, an additional pressure relief valve must be added to the low pressure side of the main regulator. The additional relief valve must be set to a lower pressure than the maximum pressure rating for the solenoid valve.


The valves are included in this years rookie kit and are the same as last years valve. The only difference in what AM is selling is the coil voltage.
