Purge Control Solenoid Hose Options?

So both nipples on my Purge Control Solenoid broke off while I was putting my engine all back together and of course cracking the hoses with them. I ordered a new solenoid and got it in and now I didn't release that the catch tank and the check valve have wider hose openings then the solenoid. So without using some kind of double sided connector to use to different sizes of hose what are my options here? I figure ordering them from Ray is the only way?

If you have two sizes of replacement hose, you could buy an adapter from mcmaster.com

However, since this line is designed to hold fuel vapor, I would actually prefer the oem hose over silicone. The only alternate material I personally would use is viton, which is what I have with an adapter.

I have no problems getting standard silicone hose over those nipples. Use something like wd40 and maybe warm the hose up. Technically you should use something like viton but I have yet to see that hose fail.
