PCV valve vacuum hose type?

I'm replacing most of my vacuum hoses,and I noticed that the hose for the PCV valve is a different type. Can I use just regular vacuum hose on that,or would I have to get something like some fuel line hose? It just doesn't look like a normal vacuum hose.

I used fuel line for mine. Make sure you get the right size for it and not the kind with the inner liner like some high end versions have.

Yup; not because you "have to", or anything like that; just, it's the easiest and most likely to fit well and live long.
