I believe these are just 5/8" ID hose, but to make sure, take the pipe that
goes to the head with you to the FLAPS and test fit one of their heater
hoses (1/2", 5/8" or 3/4").  That's what I did but it was so long ago
(1999) I've forgotten the size.  Buy a foot of the right size and cut down
for proper fit.
