Default Correct name for screw-in nipple next to oil filter base

I'm rebuilding a new engine and i can't for the life of me remove this piece from the old block, a short rubber pipe goes from the oil filter base to it? It screws into the block and has a nipple for the pipe to slide over? What do i ask for when I call Subaru for the part? It's something todo with the stock oil cooling system?

Use a 2 foot bar and a 24mm socket to remove it.

Its a water supply/outlet from the block to the water pump.

yea i figured its todo with the stock cooler, and it dawned on me that it might be left threaded. in the subaru manual its simply referred to as a "plug". Anyhow called subaru. they got a new one for 3.5GBP converted from my currency. Just gonna get a new one for my new shiny Axis EJ25

It's todo with pumping water through the stock cooler, and it dawned on me that it might be left threaded. in the subaru manual its simply referred to as a "plug". Anyhow called subaru. they got a new one for 3.5GBP converted from my currency. Just gonna get a new one for my new shiny Axis EJ25
