Re: Vacuum Pump Question

<R72-H> excludes vacuum pumps/generators from pneumatics rules, but states that they still must satisfy all other rules. IIRC, that one is a venturi generator, which is specifically called out as permitted as long as it is powered by a legal power source.

Is it COTS currently? If so, legal. If not, see <R33> and <R34> for a better determination.
