I think the original hose might have been molded--or have an internal 
'spring'--where it makes the 90deg bends into the 
heater.  These days, I think all the suppliers--I may be wrong--just sell 
'generic' heater hose by the foot.  IIRC, it's 
3/8" ID hose.  If you make the bend radius as large as possible, it works fine.
