Good move on the silicone adapters. I have also moved into the future and on my reassembly of 2511 every hose is silicone, with the exception of fuel, of course.
there is a seemingly endless selection of adapters such as you used, and multiple elbows also available.
A standard worm drive hose clamp can cut into the soft silicone hose and special lined clamps are recommended. For the larger sizes I always use a lined T-bolt clamp.
