It all depends on what vac lines you are fixing and how much.

some will require 7/32" hose for larger lines

other with need 1/8" and 1/16" for smaller ones.

I'd take pieces of the hoses you need to a parts store, and asked for colored Vac hoses or windshield washer tubing.

The parts store I go to do, I just ask the parts counter guy for the size I need and it comes in a package with 3 or 4 colored hoses but its 35$

Instead I just use windshield washer tubing, 6ft for 4$
