What is this rubber looking elbow here called and where can it be purchased? It's the black part that is fastened to the 3/4" pvc using hose clamps.
For some context, this is a condensate drain on an air conditioner. It was very helpful to be able to take it apart while troubleshooting a clog. I'm trying to add an auxiliary drain and need a piece that will do the right angle. I need to the name to find out where to buy it though.
I'd prefer to have a way to take it apart rather than gluing the 3/4" pvc together. I'm not a condensate or hvac expert so I may want to redo it later as well.

This is a low-pressure application, so almost any rubber hose of the correct diameter should work. Measure the plastic tubing outside diameter and look in an auto parts shop for heater hose or radiator hose of that inside diameter. Some radiator hoses have a right-angle bend, and smaller diameter heater hose should be flexible enough to bend without kinking.
