Danny, That is not heater hose. I would see if it is temperature rated for 180 degree water! I just bought a 50 foot roll from Amazon because it was cheaper than 15 feet at West. If you were nearby, I'd give you the rest.
Yes, I'd hook up a hose and see if there is a leak. They likely bypassed it for a reason.
