Do DUI TLS 350 take a special inflator hose ? My wife got a used one made in 1994 but it did not come with an inflator hose. What size, length hose do we need to get ? Does it have a unique connector ? Any advice on where to get a reasonable one would be greatly appreciated
The DUI takes the standard inflator hose.
I use a 32" hose for mine, but some use longer or shorter.

The above is good advice. Make sure it's long enough. 32" is pretty standard.
The other consideration is having a smoothly functioning quick-attach connector that you can easily disconnect with thick gloves in the event of a stuck open drysuit inflator valve. DUI offers a nice drysuit inflator hose that has a beefy connector on it...but for some reason the company charges an arm and a leg for it!
You can get a very nice drysuit hose for about $30. Here's a link to one I can recommend from Scubatoys.com. If I needed a new one today, this is the one that I'd order (probably the 32" length).
