Easiest way to connect Intex 1.5" hoses

[cfclay]

I started off on a project to add a hayward skimmer, and I got in less interested in the project and wanted to just get er done. I'm happy with where I'm at except for now I am going to back to order the hoses I need to get my Intex above ground cleaner going again. One of the photos shown shows the "hose b" which has the coupler to connect another intex hose. I can't seem to find that that coupler is sold anywhere except as part of "hose b".

Is there any other inexpensive way to connect 2 intex hoses?

I suppose one of these barbed fittings would do the trick.
