A radiator hose wouldn't be the weak link when it comes to heat.

I was curious to know what the temp rating was for these hoses to see what other hoses I could use. possibly clear

The boiling point for water is 212 deg's at sea level, 50/50 mix raises that somewhat. I would think if you had tubing that could withstand 300 degrees + you might be OK. Now, what about pressure? Not only does it have to take the heat, but the pressure as well. There I'm not sure.
