What is the name of these water fittings?

I am putting in a expansion tank and ran into these water line fittings off the pump, what is the name of the vinyl hose and fittings, they have a little rubbers sleeve that slides over the pex fitting, then the vinyl line, and then the grey plastic nut?

In the old days, that would be a compression fitting. The nut compresses the rubber sleeve around the hose creating a water tight seal.

I ask for PEX slip fittings and the folks at Lowes know what I am talking about.

I carry a set of 2 of each type. Unions, elbows, PEX to 1/2 NPT Male, PEX to 1/2 Female.

Now I have to add 2 PEX to 1/2 inch Hose fittings. Grrr

After our second year snowbirding, we are working on my new camper "loadout" list. I hope to publish it when we are done. DW still thinking about what to put in the kitchen and pantry. Hope to have it finalized by our June trip.

Well, I am wanting the exact same fittings in the picture, but I can not find anything on the net on them?
And none of the trailer repair places have seen them before.
I went to lowes and home depot, and nothing?
I may have to call Forest River?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure they are the same type fittings but are probably a different manufacturer. Most RV manufacturers use the same types of piping. I would think these fittings are universal. You could call them and see if they believe it to be the correct items you're looking for.

[Cooptroop]

You would think I could find them on line somewhere ?

Well here is the finished product, the new expansion tank from home depot 39.00 and a few fittings.
One note is that the water pump use to be right in the center of the storage compartment, it is now out of the way, and I can actually use the storage compartment now!!!
