Difference of PSI in pressure/return hoses with power steering pumps...

I am using a GM type II pump with my motor this time around and i know i need a 2500psi rated pressure rated line to the actual pump, but the return line isn't under a lot of pressure as i've learned and doesn't need the expensive teflon lined hose.

but

how much pressure is there in the return line? i need to make sure so i know what hose to buy

thanks

return is very low, most use worm drive hose clamps to seal. i'd guess in the 25 psi range, but really don't know the exact number

thanks...either way i'm not going to go through the trouble of returning my -10 teflon hose for normal braided. I'd only be saving like $6 and shipping would be that much

oh well
