Trident sample/waste line coupler?

Just realized I'm missing the little coupling unit (pictured below) to connect the short tubing coming out of the trident to the waste/sample line. I have the tubing, just not the connectors. Anyone know if I can get a replacement without waiting for Neptune to come back in stock with 95% of its products?

Thanks!

That looks like a pretty standard connector. In my experience the easiest way is go to Petco and find an air line hose. Might be a bit big and require some forcing, but tends to work in my experience. Given it's a waste line I'd not be very worried about it being any specific connector (if it was a dosing one I might be more paranoid).

Much obliged! I'll try this tomorrow.

You can try these. Definitely not standard airline connector. Waste/sample line is much smaller than typical airline.
