Jackhammering water pump

The Shurflo model 2088 water pump in my 2003 Tioga 23e is extremely loud. The installation manual recommends at least 1ft. of flexible high-pressure tubing to both ports and the pumps ports/strainer should not be connected to plastic or rigid pipe. So opened up the bathroom cabinet and found that Fleetwood ignored both of these suggestions. I want to install the flexible tubing. The problem is I've never seen the type of connectors used in this plumbing. See the picture linked below. How do those blue connectors work? I would like to come straight out of both sides of the pump with at least 12" of tubing as suggested. Ex. On the inlet side I would like to remove the two 90 degree elbows and put a loop from the pump to the blue connector. How do I transition from the flexible tubing to the rigid plastic stuff with the blue connectors?
