I am planning on using the flexible faucet feed lines for a project I am working on. (they have a metallic outside and I suspect vinyl or plastic interior)
The temperature of the fluid that I will be running though it (maple sap) will be around 100F to 180F – but I don't know yet. I am building a preheater out of copper tube and need a way to connect two parts that are fixed but must be able to disconnect
I don't want the part to fail or break down and I do not want the material to leach into the fluid.
Are these feed lines acceptable for temps to 180F?
Is there another alternative that allows flexibility and easy connect/disconnect on one side of the part?

The tubing should have a stamp on the side that says what temperature range it can handle.
