Default PCV Vavle Trouble

Okay, this is quick one. I decided to change my PCV valve over the weekend, and when I pulled the old one out from the larger rubber hose that connects the PCV valve to the vacuum line, the rubber tube broke completely. So I was left with an open vaccum line and an unconnectable PCV valve. Well, basically after some electrical tape I've managed to connected them back together. However, it still is a concern of mine to get that rubber connector replaced.

I went to autozone and when I told the guy what my problem was and what I needed he looked at me like I was crazy and showed me a selection of grommets, none of which were what I needed.

What part do I need, and where can I find it? I want to make sure I have proper PCV valve action, its too important for just electrical tape to satisfy my worries.

Dealer or junk yard. I have broke mine a couple of times and the last time I got one from the junk yard.

Is it the rubber part that hooks the PCV valve to the vacuum line?? Why not just find the appropriate sized rubber vacuum line...?

If its just the rubber hose part, then find the right size rubber vaccum line hose. Otherwise the junkyard would be another good place to look.
