Windshield washer hose

My windshield washer hose was chewed up by rats. When inspecting, I thought the hose was just brittle rubber hose. I went to Napa to get new hose and they told me it's just hard plastic hose. Is that right? I purchased rubber hose to slide over the hard plastic stuff. What is the best product to use?

I used 1/4" water line for refers and water dispensers. It shoves into the rubber fittings under the cowl, and at the pump. Rodents have since chewed through it, and one of my spark plug wires. Any 1/4" OD plastic line should work fine.

Apparently your napa is an idiot. 1/4 vacuum hose is what you are looking for

I think you're right. Unfortunately they're the closest parts house to me and it's still 25 miles away. Thanks for the info on the hose size.
