Need help identifying Heater hoses.

Very new 911SC owner, needing some help. I want to replace some of the OEM heater and other hoses that seem to be in rough shape. I do have the Bently service Manuel on ordered to help wth all my future projects. I did a forum and google search, But I want to make sure I order everything I need. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have outline the three hoses I want to replace.

Cheers
Damon.

The big plastic hose on the top-left can probably be cleaned up with soapy water and a brush. Then maybe a light spay of some black-plastic-renew?

Of course the two paper hoses.

Remember how the hose clamps are oriented. Easy access for the wrench or screwdriver and the loose hose clamp end should be out of harm's way.

Probably should check the 2 hoses underneath the black trim that connect to the heater boxes? And the two hoses that run out of the heater boxes and into the flapper valves? Use the orange high temp hoses for those 4. More flexible too.

While you're down there and the hoses are not connected to the flapper valves. Uses some WD-40, PB-Blaster or whatever on the valves to make sure they move smoothly. That might smell in your cabin for awhile. Alternatively, you might even unbolt the flapper valves and give them a good cleaning (w/ spray paint?). And most importantly, make sure the controls in the cab fully close the valves. Just a little opening of the valve will result in heat in the cabin. (Not pleasant.)
