What is this part called and where can I go to purchase it online.?

I own a 99 Ford Ranger( 4wd,v6,3.0). Had a pretty serious coolant leak and noticed it was coming from a broken barb that connects to y shaped coolant hose. Anyway, the barb is part of a nut that screws into the block just below the thermostat housing. On the top of that nut, the coolant temperature sensor screws into a threaded port. This part basically houses the temp. sensor. I have looked on ford website and numerous other, including engine diagram. Can't find the specific name of part so that I can order it. Does anyone know what it is?

Update:

Took part into all the local auto parts stores and got the same answer, get it from Ford. Only prob is you gotta have specific name or part number.

Update 2:

Barb ( the tube that is connected to the lower side of this fitting. The y shaped hose slides onto it and gets clamped)
