connection fitting
The extractor pump will need to be removed regularly for maintenance so it needs a semi-permanent base or bracket at the bottom of the space which fills with water, to which it is connected and through which, by means of a non-return valve, it draws water out of that space. There are good illustrations in the references, but I have not been able to find a good English reference yet. This translation is safe compromise, I feel.

See discussion - 'duckfoot bend' or 'duckfoot bend connector' would be better.

Discussion
There's no need to apologise for doubting me. I was only "medium" certain.
Duckfoot or duckfoot bend seems to be the standard term though, and "duckfoot bend connector" doesn't get any hits on Google.
Here's another definiton of the term:

I have now found a good UK reference (https://www.drain-systems.co.uk/product/5251) which vindicates your choice. (There are several others if you google "duckfoot bend").
I apologise for doubting you, but still have a feeling that 'connector' is important, hence I would advise Carole to use "duckfoot bend connector" but to give you the points!
I think that 'kobling' is an important word here and so we need "connector" or "connection" in the translation. I wish I could find a decent English reference and will continue to look. Meanwhile see my suggestion.
