I have a 70’ and a 30’ length of the yellow Unger nLite HiFlo hose and I am looking to connect two lengths together. I am having some trouble finding the right connector though, can anyone point me in the right direction?
you can find it at home depot or lowes

Thank you! Any idea what it’s called or where to look in the store?
plumbing, i thing it’s called a push fitting
They have them here to.

Update:
I purchased a 5/16th push fitting to connect my two hose lengths, but the hoses don’t fit very securely in the fitting and the water pressure keeps blowing them out. What am I doing wrong??
Below are links for stainless steel options. Male and female quick connects that barb into the nLite tubing.

I dont believe the push fits will do it, not inless that inner cap of the fitting pops in & springs back up. Im fortunate to have a plumbing supply warehouse locally (“Power Components Corp”) and they have literally every fitting i could want… except a Y push lock for my brush, so i settled for a T.
They call em push locks, and the inner cap is always a different color than the housing, pushes in and pops back up as it were spring loaded. I think the fittings from home depot and lowes are more for PEX tubing, like for the fridge, which is a lot more rigid than PU tubing used for WFP.
Also, anyone know what Rhino Tubing is made of? Looks like surgical rubber tubing in videos.
I’d venture to say Rhino tube is some type of vinyl/PVC type hybrid. It’s not latex. It doesn’t stretch when you pull on it, and the walls are noticeably thicker than surgical rubber tubing.
My recommendation is to not use plastic quick connects. The will not last long… Use brass push connect fittings…
