Default Check Valve Vacuum Lines

Anyone know what size they are? There's three lines on my '90 Coupe. I need to replace all three vacuum lines. Thanks!

Also, what's the best way to test the valve itself? Just suck on it and blow into it? Which end do you suck on and which end do you blow? lol.

I believe the single end is 1/8" and the double is 3/16". Suck on the single end if you're so inclined :-)

Thanks. I'm going measure them when I pull them off, but wasn't exactly sure if what's installed is actually right. They likely are, by the looks of them they're probably the original ones. Anyway, good to know for comparison sake.
