I need to re-route the lines for the hydro fan for my new setup. What is a suitable material hose to use? Can I use regular coolant line? These are the lines coming off the cooler. I'm not sure what temp they get up to or what pressures they see. Braided ss is NOT an option. Any help? Thanks everyone.

is it the low pressure line you are wanting to replace or the high pressure line

For what its worth, My low pressure line is regular heater hose and it seems at though it is sweating fluid after the car gets up to temp. I need to find something more durable.

Not sure, its the line off the res to the pump and from the cooler to the res. I've never messed with this before.

does it look like something you can easily pull off and replace with another hose or is it something that bolts in and is durable like it is holding a lot of pressure (think power steering like from the pump to the rack is the high pressure line, from the rack to the reservoir and from the reservoir to the pump is low) you'll need a high pressure line if thats the case.. and braided might be the best option..

i think driftmotion has one...

Its the lines that fit over the ends of the hard lines and have squeeze clamps at the ends. I'm going to see if hydraulic line will work. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

sounds like a low pressure line you can probably use anything for
