Thanks for weighing in Al, I was hoping to hear from an LRI.

I got the operating pressure from http://content2.smcetech.com/pdf/SY3.5.7.9000.pdf page 9

I see VexPro has it listed as .9 MPa on their site, but if I choose to use a different SMC solenoid, other than the one they sell I cannot find a data sheet other than the one above. In competition, I know these are generally accepted as okay, but I want my bases covered in case I'm asked (I've heard horror stories).
