Size of Radiator Hose to install Gauge?

I was wondering what the size is of the stock Radiator Hose so I can install an inline coupling to install my Water Temp Sensor.

I need the inside diameter. I do not have my car with me to pop off the hose and check and I tried to search.

Thanks

I am installing a autometer water temp guage.. I had this one from my ond car. I know the water temp is not as valuable as oil temp. I was going to buy the radiator hose adapter where you cut the hose and clamp on this tube that has a hole for the water temp sensor. I guess I could use the water temp gauge as the oil temp instead, as long as the scale is okay.
