Default Bleeder "nipple" size

Hi Fellows.

I just bought a vacuume bleeder. And, since my bike is 200 miles away I can't check the size of the bleeder "nipple". I need to know what the inside diameter of the hose is that fits tightly over the "nipple".

A little help?

The nipples are kind of universal, so whatever hose is with the bleeder should work fine. Plus you can get different size hose by the foot at any good hardware store, like an Ace or a good local store. I don't know if the box stores carry tubing by the foot. Probably might be able to get it at an auto parts store, but not sure of that.

Thanks Klx678.
The hose in the box looks like it's 1/4 inch id. I recall the "nipple" to be some smaller. Can someone put a vernier on their's and let me know?

Everyone might be ahead of the game if they change the brake fluid at least every 2 years. Saves on brake "drag". Seams cleaner fluid allows better retraction of the brake pistons.

I appreciate ALL efforts.
Thanks again...
BeWell All.
Sincerely, M
