Default got some Rad hose for a MAC truck.. is that ok for IC couplings?

On my way home from picking up my new intercooler pipes i stopped by the MAC Truck dealership and order a foot of 'high pressure hose' to make some couplings.... got home and noticed it said "rad hose" on it.. will this be ok?

Thanks..

should be. I used rad hose on my last setup and it worked great. I bought more to use this time.

should work great, rad lines handle descent pressure and heat, and 4-ply should handle more boost than you can create, assuming they are clamped well.

Go with is if it is cheap man. Look at it in comparison to the Home Depot Couplers. Rad hose and silicone is better than that.
