I think I know what pipe you mean, are you talking about the one I have circled in red ?

If so get an open ended spanner and place it on the pipe, find one that fits tight (so you cannot twist the spanner on the pipe)

I belive its ID 10 which is

ID = internal Diameter 10mm

Thats the one mate. I think it is 10MM int dia as well but silicon hose comes in 9.5mm and 11mm.   not sure if its best to squeeze it on ( but having a reduced internal area) or clamp it down real tight on a larger pipe.

yes samco only do a ID9.5mm i just bought mine from raldes, should be with me soon.

It should fit, will just be a bit tight, use like small Jubilee clips to hold it in place you should be fine.

Use the 9.5mm, it supposed to be a tight fit. It leps it not to pop off. You can warm it with a hair dryer if it wont go but it should go on fine if you wiggle it.
