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.
