Radiator overflow hose size needed

Hi guys,
I seem to have misplaced my radiator overflow tank. Can someone tell me what size hose is used? Or better yet, what size the nipple is on it? Thanks.

My dumba$$ didn't think to check the radiator. So ID of the nipple is 1/4in so need to find aluminum barb with the same size. Am wanting to weld an aluminum barb onto existing REW cap assembly instead of getting S4 cap assembly with nipple which is plastic.
