trans cooler lines

Hi everyone, I had to repair my transmission cooler lines last weekend. I saw fluid drips on the ground and found a line leaking up in front of the engine. For now I repaired it by cutting the bad section out and installing hoses that are double clamped at both ends. Both lines were rusty in the same spot so I repaired both of them this way. I am just curious if these lines will hold and the pressure in there won't blow the hoses. Does anyone know how much pressure is in those lines? Thanks for any advice.

I put in a cooler and a remote filter for my trans. I was cautioned to not use fuel line hose but a hose made for that application. I used Earl's push on line and fittings. No problems.

Yeah, they will hold, but as mentioned, do not use fuel hose. The detergent in transmission fluid will soften fuel hose.
