Default What is the size of the Brake booster vacuum line on a C5?

Searched to no avail. Need to tee in for a vacuum source. 1/2"?

This is the rubber hose that connects the rear of the intake manifold to the fitting on the brake booster.



What I'm looking to replicate:


Thanks in advance!

Nominal sizes are different than the actual ID/OD measured. For example, a 2x4 piece of wood is nominally 2x4 - but actually measures 1.75 by 3.75. Those pesky engineers!
