Plumbing Part Identify (Water Heater Elbow)

Can anyone help identify this elbow (size also)? It connects to the brass fitting on the water heater. I had to replace my spray-port, which is not far from my water heater and while I was under the bunk I noticed that the slightest touch of the water line that connects to this 90 degree elbow causes it to leak profusely. It appears to be a female-female swivel elbow... but any search I conduct cannot find such a thing. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

Both ends should have a cone washer, and I bet that’s what has failed.
It’s 1/2” line.

Lowes, HD & Ace Hardware have a big variety of 1/2" pex fittings to look through. As Chuckster said it may only need the cone washer which should also be available at those stores.

I've had those connections leak and all they needed was tightening. I figure you tried that. I've also had them leak and the soft rubber cone washer inside had been mashed crooked when the fitting was screwed on. I believe you can buy the rubber cones at most hardware stores or on Amazon if that is the problem.
