Can you not just measure your existing hoses?
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Still, it's not that difficult to work out with a tape measure ;)

Dress maker's cloth tape is best :peace:
