i think 1/4. if not, go to lowes and buy an assortment of sizes. its all less then $1 per foot, and youll only need a foot of it.

the nut on the bleeder nipple is 10mm which = .394 inch so if you're covering the whole nut (worked for me) then 3/8 (.375) flexible tube should work, if just covering the nipple then 1/4 sounds right.
