There is officially such a critter. Try a good NAPA store or big equipment place. I wouldn’t rely on the burger flipper flunky at TSC etc.

My home built I just used a section of pressure hose .The return line from the valve can be about anything because it's not under pressure .

They will suck shut if it’s soft material or too small, particularly if there is a filter between the tank and the pump. When they do, flow stops and the pump cavitates. Given enough time it will ruin the pump.
