Default LS Valve cover barb size???

I'm wanting to get a quick dis-connect for my oil catch can line to connect to me driver's side valve cover (2009 Chevy 5.3L LS engine)

But, I'm not exactly sure what quick dis-connect connector to buy or where to buy it.

The first step should be knowing what size the barb is located on the rear of the valve cover

If anybody know what size this barb is, and what quick dis-connect connector to buy, please let me know.

It looks kinda like 3/8 to me but it may be metric sizing.

Here's a pic:

But, I was wanting to put the hose itself on a quick dis-connect connector....

If I cannot find a quick dis-connect, I've got some braided fuel line and a hose clamp I can always use.

I noticed that but I don't see where they sell just the connectors.

I already have an Elite Engineering catch can, but they don't sell a plug-n-play kit for my particular vehicle so I'm putting together the kines and connectors myself.

Most of the companies that sell catch cans make you buy an entire kit to get the connectors from what I've seen.

I've got some fittings like this on order from a different vendor... I don't think they will be deep enough, but we'll see once the order comes in.
