Also the system is under pressure so the boiling point is raised by quite a bit above 100cbb1boy wrote:Well that's boiling point for water.. engine coolant has a higher boiling point. But yes, a 92c thermo switch sounds right.

Re-inforced PVC hose is crystal clear, can easily take the pressure and wouldn't go brittle etc with age. However, it can't hack temps that high.
Reinforced clear nylon hose would do it.
It's not crystal clear like glass is though (in fact it can be more translucent than transparent) and you'd see the reinforcement of course.
Or you can get clear silicone hose (same as nylon hose with not being completely clear and seeing the reinforcement);
