In commercial applications, long hose lengths are never used. all runs are
made with metal tubing. A short length of hose (4") is used at both ends
with double hose clamps on each side of each hose.

Hi,
I'm adding domestic hot-water heating to my new engine and it calls for
the 5/8" hoses to go from the front of the engine down and around to the
back. Normally I'd use cable-ties to hold the hoses in place, but wouldn't
the engine get too hot for the plastic? Should I use wire? Are there
things made specifically for this?

I'm concerned the vibration of the engine will eventually wear through
the hoses...
