I just finished putting my water pump back after a full plastic pipe swap when I noticed I am missing that small plastic ring that
locks the small return water pipe. Anybody know what its called and how I can get it. Thnx so much.

I found a replacement in a hardware store. These are standard high pressure pipe lock nipples also used in lab equipment. Just in case somebody else has troubles.

Ugh. I wish I had seen this before ordering a new water pump just for that stupid ******* plastic lock.

Needing one of these too, What are they for that you can ask at the hardware store?
Does anybody know the position of the o ring in the kit? Does it go on the grey fitting where it sits against?/ inside the brass housing or does it slide onto the brass nipple and go flush against the grey fitting? Maybe a pic installed?

The o-ring is installed inside the water pump. Use a small pick to remove the old one from the water pump. The o-ring sits in a groove inside the water pump. The (grey) locking fitting should be inserted into the water pump next. Finally, insert the elbow fitting.
