M923A2 Power Steering Hydraulic Hose Failure

I've replaced the hydraulic power steering hose due to failure 4 times in the last 3 months - I guess O'Rielly's HD hose isn't as HD as needed. Fortunately I haven't been driving far when failure has happened - steering it without power assist is nearly impossible. I've been using their hose with a couple of hose clamps on each end. The hose usually bursts on the end closest to the driver's side wheel.
What do you recommend for replacement? I'd love to replace with a stainless tube with fittings from one end to the other but don't think that's available.

Sorry for the slow response, I've been unable to find it on any of the parts catalogs I have.

It's the hose above and to the left (about 10:30) of the driver's front wheel. About 18-24" long it appears to connect the left side with the right. It's in the shop now getting work done on the AC ahead of the coming Texas summer. I've asked them to change the hose while in.
