2004 S40 - Please help me identify a hose

Hey guys, I am new to working on cars and was hoping I could receive a little assistance in identifying a part.

Below is an image I acquired online of the idle air control valve for a 2004 Volvo S40 (1.9T).

In the top right corner of that image, there is a hose that comes into frame and connects to a "U" shaped hose connector (highlighted in red), then goes back out of frame. What is this "U" shaped hose connector and where could I buy one? I noticed mine has started cracking and leaking air.

In case this image doesn't supply enough details, I will take a photo of the part and post it when I get home.

The hoses and gray check valve are part of the fuel tank evaporative emissions plumbing. The hose could be replaced by straight fuel vapor capable hose.
The gray piece is a check valve and has to be installed to allow flow into intake manifold. There is usually an arrow on it and it points to manifold.
