Ken,
I think you answered your own question here. If you go through the flowchart, following your lead that the vacuum is pnuematics, then you can't progress past the following question..."Is it an air cylinder ordered from the Custom Cylinder Order Form or any previous year’s pneumatic component except storage tanks, pressure switches or pressure regulators ?" Your answer is NO and that makes it an illegal part.
Sorry.
