If you don't have a caliper handy...

You can use an adjustable wrench and a tape measure to get the diameter of your current line. Close the wrench down over the line until it just touches then measure the gap with the tape or ruler. It's obviously not as accurate as a proper caliper but it will get you close. You can also pick up a plastic vernier caliper for a buck or two at the hardware store or dollar store.
