Default heater hose diameter

wanting to replace my heater hoses with braded hoses and noticed that
they are two different sizes. The hose to the water pump is 3/4'' while the
hose to the intake is 5/8'', is this correct or should they both be the same
size?
thanx wade

That's how it came & are the sizes on the heater core. Braided would be heavier.
No hoses is lightest & works for me.

:cool:
