It is nylon.

I wouldn't use it unless you have to. Try and see if some 1/8" rubber vacuum line will do the same thing.

It is just air. It isn't like it is hot oil or anything.

The easiest would be the FPR vacuum line. The best would be the brake booster, but you will have to figure out how to get a 1/2" hose down to 1/8".
