What is this plumbing part called?

Question

I have some small pumps that use this type of connector to connect the inlet and outlet tubing:

The black part at the bottom is an o-ring and it is held in the pump with a sliding latch.

What is this part called and where can I buy more? I need a smaller flange size.

Thanks

Answer 1

I do not know the name of that particular part, but I have never had a problem finding a part I needed.  Take the part with you to a home improvement store and see if a person in their plumbing, or lawn and garden section can help.  You can also try a smaller hardware store, you might be amazed at the wide range of parts they carry, so that they can compete with the big chains.  Finally, or first, do a search on the pump manufacturer's name and products, see if you can order the parts on-line or if they have a list of retailers you can use.

A barbed connector.Usualy used on plastic tubeing(any hardware store.)
