It seems that for metal pipes only option is to order "Genuine OEM", but what about rubber hoses? What pressure and temperature it should handle?
Is it enough to handle 10 bar (1 MPa) and temperatures range -35C ... 125C (-31F ...275F) ?

This is what I used
Amazon Amazon

edit: double check the size of the lines...the link may not have the right size. It could be 3/8..its been a while since i replaced. Either way, transmission cooler hose is what you want.

I can't find store with "Gates Transmission Cooler Hose" near by, but as You suggest I will use hoses dedicated for transmission cooler.

the pressure is very low in these hoses. It flows thru the coolers and then dumps into the trans pan. But you must use transmission or PS hose which is compatible with ATF. I replaced my oem fender mounted cooler with. B&M cooler mounted to the AC condenser. Saw temps drop from 200+ to 170*F on the hottest days of 95*F Chicago summer. The oem cooler is functionally USELESS in my most humble opinion. Never mind the restrictive fluid lines Lexus designed to move the fluid back and forth.

I bought 50' of Gated 3/8" hose on ebay for $35. Every now and then you get lucky.

O'reillys sells Gates but they are most certainly overpriced.
