Lvacuum lines from carbon canister / tbi ; tbi / solenoid ; solenoid / valve

Im replacing the lines here soon. Ordering tubing in bulk. Anyone just not used the elbows and upsized tubing / used tubing clamps to secure lines? Seems that is cheaper and easier route . Any reason not to? Ans it appears to be 5/16” for the elbow barbs… ? While the tubing was 1/4.. ? So i could just go straigjt 5/16 and be all good?

That's what I would do. The elbows for my PCV vacuum line were cracked so I used 3/8" ID low pressure hydraulic hose. Maybe overkill but I won't need to worry about it sucking flat.
