Battery vent tube size

Anyone know the o.d. of the battery vent tube, and the elbow? My tube cracked, and the elbow broke. I have it jimmied with some tape, but it's too cold for glues and such. I also don't feel like paying $20+ locally, or almost that to order something through the mail, for a part that literally costs pennies to make.
Thanks!

I can go to pick and pull locally and possibly source one and snail mail it to you.
maybe a few dollars
Nor Cal warm at 32 / 58 f compared to N D !

Could go to your local auto parts store and order one, they may even be in stock. Ask for a vent tube for a 90 battery

I bet Nor Cal is a bit warmer. We just got done with 2 days of snow and wind. High today should make it to about -5F.

Part number, dimensions. You may be able to cut the cracked end and flip the tube and slide the elbow into the tube.

It comes taped to the side of a Duracell T5 so it must be pretty standard. Napa likely has it.

Or you could go to an AGM battery and eliminate the need for a vent tube. That's what I did.
