Pneumatic Hose Rating

[FRC111]

In this question, the GDC mentioned that the rating on the pneumatic hose must be equivalent to that of the KOP hose, and that 175 PSI hose would not meet this requirement.

However, in our KOP, our pneumatic hose is clearly labeled with the following:
"Freelin-Wade CoilHose Fre-Thane 95A PUR .250" O.D. X .160" I.D. X .045" Wall 175 PSI WP 0 75F Made In USA"

As this was the KOP hose that we received, we used it. Looking at previous years' KOP, we found the same exact hose with the 175 PSI rating, as well.

Since we purchased additional hose from Freelin-Wade that is identical to this, including the 175 PSI rating, we were wondering if this was legal for us to use?

Thanks

GDC:
We are confused about one of your recent replies, that states:

175 psi tubing would not satisfy this criteria.

Does this mean that all 175 psi (or anything above 125) tubing would not satisfy the criteria? Or what criteria was that post refering to?

The reason we ask is because we originally heat treated the KOP tubing (which is labeled as 175 psi), and then read the Q&A which said that heat treated coiled tubing is illegal if made by teams. So we are looking at buying coiled tubing from Freelin-Wade, but the rating is 155 psi.

So, our questions are:
1) Is the tubing we got in the KOP which is labeled as 175 psi legal to use on the robot?
2) Is the coiled tubing from Freelin-Wade which is labeled as 155 psi legal to use on the robot?

The Freelin-Wade tubing labeled "175 PSI" provided in the Kit Of Parts, and equivalent tubing, absolutely can be used. We made a mistake in the wording of our answer, and did not mean to imply otherwise. The answer on the referenced question has been corrected.
