What is the final ruling then on the rated vs. will not catastrophically fail issue?

I am really sorry to be coming in late to the party but I just got tossed in to the mix.

By the way, I have the same issue but with a slight twist. I have a NVKF334-XXX on my desk here. I want to use it but it too is only listed as 0-0.7Mpa or 0-100psi.

What is a person to do?

P.S. Not to hijack this thread or anything, but can I just vent a bit. I just spent 4 hours trying to figure out the pneumatic rules for our team and trying to find a solenoid valve that is legal and does what we need it to do (yeah I know that the robot shipped last week, but for reasons beyond the scope of this discussion, my team just now discovered we don't have enough solenoids to run our robot -- our fault, I know -- and that the kit one is out of stock until the day our competition begins... ...you do what you have to do if you want to get your robot to be working on Friday morning of the competition).

So... ...I have just now gotten into the mess of that is the pneumatic rules. YUCK! If I say more it won't be nice so I will just leave it at that... JJ
