What is the small plastic/rubber angled water line part that the front part of the water pump valve is inserted into ?

Well i might have described it as a water pump in my above message, but from what I've read on here it is a check valve, so what is the rubber/plastic small angled water line part that the front of the check valve is inserted into !
