A flexible rubber fitting (fernco) is not rated for temperature or pressure. I am not saying it will be a problem, I personally would not trust it. As a plumber by trade I have seen a fernco used successfully on many improper applications, never on high temp though. PVC has a max temp rating of 73 degrees. CPVC is rated at 200 degrees max, though at 200 degrees it is derated to only 20% of max operating strength.
