Cv 0.32 rule R78 + first choice valve?

[dmulla]

We got a first choice part fc13-024 this year, which AndyMark says is festo two way valve # 566475. This seems to translate to VUVG-L10-B52-T-M7-1P3. And, at the festo website here:

https://www.festo.com/cms/en-us_us/catalog_search.htm?action=search&query=hx$35363634 3735

this part is listed at 380 l/min. And, as far as I can tell, this translates into more than 0.32Cv.

But the manual says anything in the KOP is legal. Are firstchoice items considered 'in the KOP'?

I suppose the real question is simply - is this valve legal for Ultimate Ascent within the light of rule R78?

The valve seems to likely be a leftover from the 2011 year as the datasheet is also here:
