That should be enough. The system only gets to 185 bar ~= 2700 PSI.

If you don't feel comfortable selecting the right hose then go to a hydraulic supply store. Aeroquip or Parker supplied stores will gladly sell you the hose and might install the fittings for you.

My om603 SLS hose is originally an Aeroquip hose. My local Aeroquip shop (Advanced Fluid Connections in Glen Burnie, MD) is amazing. But my 617 SLS hose I bought at a Farm and Tractor Supply. They were also very helpful.
