There is also a piece called a "PVC union" that will serve the same purpose, 
and can be bought at any hardware store. Couple these with the "PVC to hose" 
adapters that Sealand makes and you can make your own disconnects that makes 
it easy. You can even use two of these with a piece of hose between, then 
make blanks to seal the ends off with a third union and a couple of pvc 
caps. These are generally under $10 each at somewhere like Home Depot.
I put one at each end of my Sealand overboard discharge pump to serve the 
dual purpose of making it easy to remove the pump for maintenance and to 
disconnect the overboard for these areas that require such.
