I hope that someone can find the relationship between the M7 fittings and 1/8 NPT.
Which is why I suggested emailing the contact listed in the rules to verify metric equivalence.

As Mike pointed out M7 thread is smaller than 1/8 pipe so it should be a no brainer. It would be nice to have it in black & white for your friendly robot inspector though.

Festo never really provides the Cv of its valves. The only reason why they were unquestionably legal in previous years was because the where KOP. It did not make similar valves from other manufacturers legal.
