Re: Legalality of pnumatic ball launcher systems
Update #6 says that the rules say that a solenoid must be connected to a cylinder with 1/8" tubing. I can find no reference to this in the rules.

We were planning to connect the valve directly to the cylinder, using "off the shelf" 125 psi fittings, as permitted in rule R88.

Is anyone aware of any rule in section 8.3.9 that would preclude this?

Also, we are planning to store air in the Clippard tanks downstream of the regulator, at 60 PSI, instead of 120. Is anyone aware of any rule that would preclude this?
