Viair 90 series compressor

I have seen a lot of threads this season about the 90 series compressors. Since the GDC is saying that they will not answer questions about specific components, I figured I would see if anyone here have more information about their legality.

The part that I am questionable about is that the maximum working pressure is only 120 PSI. R66 states that all pneumatic components must have a working pressure of at least 125psi. Does this mean we can not use these compressors?

Viair 92 specs
12-Volt
Permanent Magnetic Motor
Duty Cycle: 9% @ 100 PSI
Max. Working Pressure: 120 PSI
Amp Draw: 10 Amps
Inlet Filter Assembly Included
Inline Check Valve
Dimensions: 7.50" L x 2.10" W x 4.30" H
Net Weight: 2.50 lbs.

Quote:
<R66> In addition to the items included in the KOP, pneumatic system items specifically permitted on 2011 FRC ROBOTS include the following items. All included items must be “off the shelf” COTS pneumatic devices rated by their manufacturers for working pressure of at least 125psi and burst pressure of 250psi, and used in their original, unaltered condition (except as required for assembly with other components).
Thanks for your time.
