Yes, correct metric fittings on both ends of a 1-ft line. My local
non-national chain (Robbins, in Concord NH; a store the pros use)
had two racks of pre-formed lines -- one SAE, one metric.  If you
can, take the old one with you to help size the length. You want
longer, not shorter. And if you do have to bend it/coil it, don't
kink it.
