Default AOS hose measurements

Hey,
To those who installed catch cans or replaced the AOS hoses, what is the ID measurement?

16mm should do it. I used a dash 10 SS hose.

BTW it really depends on the size of the fitting going on to it, I have a 13mm inlet on my can so got the dash 10 and warmed it up and made it fit, rubber can stretch quite well, and can be clamped a bit too.

Yep, i know clamps would help "shrink" down the sizes a bit, i was concerned on the "biggest" ID (AOS).

Yup, Aeroquip etc use dash whatever for SS sizes. Though these vary between manufacturers as well.

Sorry, but i was given that statement so many times that im sick of it

Seriously, the best deal i got was something like $500 for a BIG *** quantity....

Local stores don't have it, but there is one store 1hr away from me that i could TRY, i was hoping for an easier approach

So if any comapny has a hose leak, they have to buy 30ft of hose? Why not approach a company that uses the hose and ask to whip off a couple of feet? OR you dont actually need SS hose... any nitrile based hose would be find.
