Winterizing pump converter coupler cracked

So today I was installing a Camco pump converter winterizing kit and I over tightened the double female coupler which connects the 3 way valve to pump, does anyone know a replacement fix for this? They don’t sell the part separately and they (Campingworld) said I would need to buy the whole kit again.

Yup went to Home Depot and I managed to find 2 female 1/2” brass couplings. I soldered them together and wallah!

Also a similar double female 1/2” pipe threaded coupling made of brass may be available in the plumbing parts area of hardware or big box home improvement stores.
