I was hoping was a wrecked prissy that you were using to practice rock climbing. And the prissy was the rock. Saw a video at "Road Kill' where they build Road kill cars from the junk yard. One episode they ran over a prissy with a military tank. Warmed my heart seeing it get flattened. Hoping was a repeat.

I've actually read that they are around 20-30 psi, but still nothing that a rubber hose can't handle. The factory lines have rubber "flex-lines" along with the steel tubes. Lots of people (including me) have installed aux-coolers with rubber hose and clamps and never had an issue with it.

Just make sure to get hose that is rated for oil/transmission fluid, fuel-hose isn't designed to handle 200F+ fluids flowing through it and heater hose isn't designed to handle the solvents in ATF, both usually start to come apart relatively quickly.

The AW4 never gets anywhere close to 1,500 PSI, maximum INTERNAL pressures in the AW4 are around 300 PSI. And the cooler lines are well below that as stated above.
