Its kinda not the same but on a fish pump/filter hose i did try hot water and could not stretch it atall but i used a flame from a plumers thingy and it worked wonders!
But if you do try this dont leave it on too long as it WILL melt it!

They will stretch slightly but it's not easy!! I've stretched SFS and Samco easily enough but the worst ones I've tried to stretch were Roose hoses. They took some effort.
