Coupling devices (100) useful for fluidly connecting components of products, such as vehicle coolant components, are described. The coupling device may be press-fit onto male barb interfaces and thereby create a robust and durable liquid-tight seal, and may allow for autonomous factory installation. The coupling device may include an internal material (102), an external material (104), flared ends (106) connected by a cylindrical intermediary portion (108) and a hollow interior portion (110), wherein a hardness of the internal material is less than a hardness of the external material.
