Look above (a little closer) for the answer - I snipped it down to
only the relevant bits for ease of reading comprehension. ;-)
Ray was a District Service Manager for Toyota for many years, and
went through all the same training as the line technicians...
He can't give you an exact figure, obviously, but "under 20 PSI" for
the models of transmissions offered in that vintage Camry is more than
"close enough for Gummint Work".
Any purpose-made hose that they shipped with a trans cooler kit, the
rubber compounds used can handle the fluid without deteriorating and
should be fine, they are usually rated at 100 PSI or better in those
small sizes. The hose ratings should be printed on the side of the
hose, and on the package.
You do NOT want to use regular "fuel line" or "heater hose" - that
is NOT meant for transmission fluid, and will go bad and leak/burst on
you much faster than the right hose.
