PCV valve vacuum hose type?

I'm replacing most of my vacuum hoses,and I noticed that the hose for the PCV valve is a different type. Can I use just regular vacuum hose on that,or would I have to get something like some fuel line hose? It just doesn't look like a normal vacuum hose.

I used fuel line for mine. Make sure you get the right size for it and not the kind with the inner liner like some high end versions have.

Ok that's what I thought I should do. Thanks a lot!

Yup; not because you "have to", or anything like that; just, it's the easiest and most likely to fit well and live long.
