Reservoir Fitting Name?

It appears your image has it screwed into a standard compression fitting, which screws into the reservoir.

 

This link is a UK site with something like it (serves the same purpose but looks different)

MeI have a large tube reservoir and at the moment I have one super long, horribly bent, hardline tube going from the bottom of the res to the top of the case.  I'd like to move the inlet to the top, but don't want to hear the trickle/splashing.  I have seen a fitting with a little tube on the end of it which gets inserted into the reservoir to make the inlet below the water level.  I found a link to one, but the link was dead, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the type of fitting is called, or where to buy one.  I know Bitspower makes one if that helps.  Here is a picture for reference.  http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1508365/

This one would probably work, but if you know of and with a bit shorter of a tube that would be great too, otherwise I can cut that one down.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Ah!  Thanks so much guys!  The EK one would be perfect, but I think the thread will take up too much room on the res top.  The Bitspower link is the Aqua Pipe which doesn't have the female thread, the Aqua Pipe 2 is the one with the female threads, which I found from searching the Aqua Pipe.  Performance-PC's has it in stock.  Thanks again guys!  Very helpful community.

Just as an update:

Bought the Aqua Pipe 2, but the spiral in the res was in the way, so I used a pipe cutter to cut the length in about half.  The plastic end of the spiral also was a but in the way, so I opened it up and cut out room for it.  So now it fits in perfect, you can't see any modifications, and the pipe is still long enough to dip into the water with a full res.
