Answered: Can I Use Some Other Products From SMC？

[easy113]

I saw VEX “Pneumatics Tubing (5’)” is same from SMC TU0425B(TUO425B-X81US1696 ).Which material is Polyurethane.
Can I use TS0425B nylon tube in VEX Competition?It’s similar from TU0425B except the material.Their inner and outer diameter,color,manufacturer are same.

But what if I used the TU0425B tube?
It’s 100% as same as the one from your resellers.
The color and material are the same

No, the tubing you describe would not meet the criteria of “identical” described in <R6a> of Section 4 of the VEX Clean Sweep Manual.

<R6> Official VEX products are ONLY available from VEX & Official VEX Resellers. To determine whether a product is “official” or not, consult www.VEXrobotics.com.
a. Products identical to those listed on this site are also considered “official VEX products”. Note: It is up to inspectors to determine whether a component is “identical” to an official VEX component.

SMC TU0425B tubing would be considered an identical replacement and is legal for use in VEX Clean Sweep.
