Default Windshield washer tubing.

I'm looking for the size and a source to buy the hard windshield washer tubing from. It appears to be 7/32 or 5.5mm, but I'm not even certain of that. All I can find is 5/32 and 1/4 which is either too big or too small compared to the original tubing. I've looked up vacuum tubing, emissions, windshield wiper, nylon, etc. Noone seems to sell the right size. It has to be brand new as anything used I've found snaps in two or crumbles to pieces when you do anything with it.

I would really prefer not to as I really don't want a pile of adapters just to get the hose to fit with the rubber elbows at the bottle and passenger wiper and rubber T splitter under the cowl. Also the help section is no good as they only have 5/32 and 1/4 tubing.
