Primer ball with 90 deg fittings

Anyone know where I can find a primer ball like this one from one of the seaboard marine YouTube videos? My bilge isn’t very deep so this would be a perfect setup.

I wound up plumbing the squeeze ball on extra long tubes so I could move it to a comfortable position to pump it.  That eliminated the need for the 90* fittings, and the contortions required to reach it.  It hangs on a convenient nearby valve handle.

After googling what you said I found these. Looks pretty similar to the one in the picture. Listed in British currency but I’m sure it comes from china.

I wrestled with that as well as my SMX DD install has limited clearance below.  I started with these Chinese specials double 90 hand primers.  The barb’s were barely pressed into the end piece and sealed with some crappy glue.  They began to leak in short time.  I was going to pull the barbs from the end pcs and JB Weld them all but then did some more Googling and came across these single 90 hand primers that worked out well. The white fitting barb takes 3/8″ line and 5/16″ for the black barb.  These have held up well going on four seasons now.  If you Google Delphi Hand Primer 9001-270 you’ll get some hits.  Even though the image shows double 90’s you may actually get a single 90 with other side straight barb.  Either will work.  Tony and I wrestled with this a couple years back and it was annoyingly difficult to find these double 90 hand primers so Tony reached out to one of his suppliers to have 1,000 double 90 hand primers manufactured and they were not interested.  FYI, when Googling “hand primer bulb” will get you better search results than squeeze bulb….
