If you used a ball shut off valve, then it would NOT be legal.

The rules are very specific on this.

Where are they specific on this? I still see no rule saying you cannot limit flow to 0.

If you use a flow control valve to completely isolate a portion of your pneumatic system, you are not in compliance with R78.

The portion being isolated is exposed to atmosphere while in transport configuration. No pressure is being stored there. The "pressure vent plug" will still be capable of releasing all pressure from the pneumatic system.
