Icon5 Replace FPR vacuum hose with a silicone hose?

Hey Guys,
Busy troubleshooting why my car wont start and came across a huge hole on my FPR's vacuum hose. Now, to my understanding, this wont cause it to not start so I know its not that, but I want to replace it all the same for when I do actually get my car started and I want it to operate properly.
So my question is as follows, can I replace the vacuum with a silicone tube?
I know one shouldnt use silicone for fuel delivery and such, but since this is just a vacuum hose, is that fine?

Car: 92 Honda Civic
Engine: K20A
FPR: 25-302C

Should be fine. Just make sure that walls of the silicone hose are thick enough to prevent it from collapsing under vacuum.
