wasn't aware of there being more than 1 size of brake pipe. you can get different metals though - copper of kunifer (copper nickel mix) and opinion is divided which is best.
iirc
these are the nuts you want

But you need more than 10 nuts if you are replacing all of them - I think you need 12 all in if you are retaining the factory pipe set up.
And the brake pipe is 3/16th as referred to in the above link.
