The Viton tubing I have on my site (see post above, #5 on the first page) is rated for 400F. This type tubing seems to be holding up very well from the posts I have seen. Several people have had them on for a couple of years and report that they still are in good shape. I just got mine installed so I'll report back in a couple of years...
