A coiled tube is NOT banned from the pneumatics manual or anywhere else. Hope this clarifies any issues.
And our 25 inch cylinders--in case anyone was wondering--are from Parker-Hannifin. "additional cylinders can also be purchased through a Bimba or Parker-Hannifin Distributor." We got ours from Parker, so they are perfectly legal.

Please go through the "Parts Use Flowchart" (in Sectin 5.3.4.2 of the manual) very, very carefully. Then carefully re-read Rule <R90> (particularly the "however..." part). The coiled tubing and 25" pistons are illegal. The fittings may or may not be illegal, based on their working ratings.
