I asked this last fall. One of the more knowledgeable guys here said there are three sizes. I bought bulk rolls of those sizes and I have them in the garage at home. This will be one of my spring projects.

I will check this afternoon and let you know

Hi there
I'm after the exact diameter of the green hose from actuator to relay valve. All I find is the length size.
Thanks
Simon

This thread is six years old. The diameter of your green hose is likely to be the same as the red.

Hi Mike

Thanks for your reply but I'm still after the diameter of the green hose and now the red hose. When I search for the sizing I'm unable to find the answer anywhere.
Thanks
Simon

I'm lost. Inside diameter or outside diameter? If you have an original piece of the hose remaining, measure both. If you are replacing all the hoses, order a kit.
