Failed Smog - What is this hose called?

I just tried to pass smog in CA and before my car went into the smog shop, the technician was asking about my car and he noticed this hose was all corroded and advised me to change it because it will fail inspection. He also said it idle's really high (1k) and that he needs it to drop down a few hundred rpm before he is willing to put it on the machine. The car was already warm because I drove it about 20 miles to get there so I guess it has a high idle right now.

On to the hose! Can someone tell me what this is called that is connected to the canister on the driver side towards the front of the vehicle? I looked in the service manual and it said something about an air purge hose or something like that but I cannot find a part number or anything on the search field. Is it just a simple vacuum line? If so, what size is the hose? Thank you for any help on this!



You can tell this hose is corroded somewhat
