Default where to buy hard 4mm vacuum line?

Some of the old, brittle hard vacuum line broke when I was taking things apart and I'm wondering where to get some more of this? I'm assuming I can just get a length of it and cut it to fit as needed (nothing moulded to shape)? Or do you guys just replace all this with silicon vacuum hose?

Also, in the Lindsey vacuum diagrams there's a red color coded hose coming out of a blue/black check valve that doesn't go anywhere - where does this go?

You can get generic inch vacuum line that works out to be like 3.7mm if i remember right.

The blue / black check valve goes inline between the brake booster and the vacuum reservoir by the battery if i remember right. I forget where, but it gets T'ed off somewhere also.

Funny thing is the vacuum lines are not supposed to be 'hard'.

I just go to pepboys, advanced auto, napa etc and use what they have -- you can get the rubber hose or the black plastic hose (like the one that goes to the BOV) at most of those places...
