This is one area where I would avoid any possible issues and double check any pneumatic tubing beforehand to make sure it is fully compliant.
I agree with R.C. Was the tubing labeled with an ID of .161"? I have never seen tubing that size; not saying it doesn't exist, just never came across it.

In the situation you describe, was the ID of the tubing marked on the outside of the tubing? If so, what did it read?
