Not quite right.

Per R77-D, if the solenoid valves are rated for less than 125 psi, an additional pressure relief valve must be added to the low pressure side of your system, and set to a pressure lower than the rating of the valve.

The interesting part of this is actually setting the valve. When we cranked up our low pressure side to 100 psi (the max of the regulator, but below the rating of our solenoids), we discovered a couple of marginal fittings.
