can be caused by agressive chemicals in heating system and/or excessive pressure if boiler overpressurised by consumer

They probably do withstand that pressure when new!
Hoewever the manufacturers probably dont test them above the PRV set pressure.
Add a couple of years of vibration flexing and they split!
Its quite a common problem!

the new hoses have a white stripe down the side of them and are doubly reinforced and strenghtened.
I always think that motor hoses are subjected to far more vibration and higher temps but very rarely fail nowadays.
It seems to be a component which is very reliable in cars but still causes problems in a less demanding application like a boiler!
