What hydraulic hose for my cooler

[Purplewillie]

I mounted a large transmission cooler for my v730 allison. I have the jic fittings and a brass tee for a temp sender on the inlet to the cooler .  All I have left is to make up lines from the converter out to the cooler and from the cooler back to the heat exchanger mounted on the firewall.
All my oil, transmission, & air lines in the engine compartment are covered in stainless braid. For heat protection I  would guess. My local store will crimp 2 wire hydraulic hose for me but has no stainless covered in stock. They will order some in to make my hoses.
What hose is it that I should have them get?
Thanks Mark

I installed an aux cooler with thermostatically controlled elec fan before the shell cooler. Make sure the cooler and lines are 1" piping, otherwise you'll restrict flow. Whether or not it is stainless braded doesn't really matter-it's just for looks. I did use the stainless braded and the hoses were rated for up to 2000psi. I also ran the engine oil filter to the right side door. Much more convenient than under the bus. Good Luck, TomC

It's the flow rate you need anything around 15 gpm @30 to 60 psi,the factory hoses were the AreoQuip low pressure single wire cloth covered like a fuel line you could go with the medium if you choose

They never used a rubber coated hose for the cooler just the cloth covered for faster heat dissipation I was told at the Allison school

The minimum size for a V730 is #12 hose. I use #16 so there is no restriction like luvrbus and Tom mentioned.
