Right from an RCA advertisement from the 50s:"Rigid processing and inspection controls provide these tubes with a minimum life of 10,000 hours when they are operated within their specified ratings."
Further, it says:
"RCA special red tubes can be used as replacements for their counterparts in equipment where long life, rigid construction, extreme uniformity, and exceptional stability are needed".
In the chart accompanying this statement it lists 5692 as a sub for 6SN7GT.
