Half inch pitch is the norm, but it's the width that varies. You need a 1/8th inch chain, ythis being the roller width within the links. Any cycle dealer will hgave them in stock, and you can ask for a quick detachable link for it at the same time. The chains are always supplied too long, and you'll need to shorten it to suit, for which you need a chain link extractor. Dealers stock those too. Here's a typical one:

You could take in the old chain and ask the dealer to shorten the new one to the same length to avoid buying the tool.
