Actually, if nobody believes how weak nylon hose gets when it heats up, throw a little piece in your microwave for about 30 seconds (on a paper plate
).
It will be hot to the touch, but not horribly so, and will most likely collapse under it's own weight.
How do I know this? I had some 1"OD|3/4"ID nylon hose that was flattened by being on the spool at the store too long, and I figured I had nothing lose by trying.
