Maybe Corix or Home Hardware? And I agree that you should replace a siliconed bulkhead, should not need silicone to seal.

If people want the white sch40 pvc slip/barb fittings like the one pictured I can get them from 1/2" all the way to 2".

You can try western pump on 42nd right off 114th. They have lots of oddball fittings.

But I would honestly take the old stuff out and change it all.

sorry the bulkhead itself is not leaking , the fitting was leaking where I screwed it into the the bottom of the bulkhead . I removed the adapter put the old hose barb back in and it did not leak. So Im not sure if the 2 fittings are different thread pitch but the hose barb fitting did not leak and the fitting in the first pic leaked .

I tried removing the bulkhead but I could not get it out hence why I was going to leave it. So I just need the best way to connect a ball valve mixed with soft hose . Would have preferred to re-do the whole line and bulkhead , just had a really annoying time trying to pull the bulkhead out .

That fitting is all I've ever used. Just wrap it generously with tape as suggested.

I know the Rona in the NE has/had a good selection of barb adapters. The Rona on Macloud used to, don't know if they still do.
