 What is this piece called? The "aluminum block" with 2 bolts attaching it to the trailer and two hoses and a quick-connect attached to it? This one is in the front of the trailer. I have one in the back left with an extra connection that I plan to add another hose and extend it to the opposite side of the trailer. From there I need the additional "block" (whatever it is called) to attach to the trailer so I can add the extension hose (from the back left "block") and another quick-connect. I've tried searching the net in vain. It's hard to search when you don't know what to call the thing. Thanks! ------------- 2018 R-Pod 176T 2008 Honda Pilot AWD |

My pod is too old and doesn't have this but from your pic it appears to be a quick attachment for a gas/propane grill. The threaded hose that is attached to the aluminum block, trace that line back to the source; probably ends at the propane tank.

Hi Jato, Thank you for the quick response. I tried to explain the piece I was referring to, but it's difficult in words. The piece is not the quick-connect, it's the "blocky" part that everything attaches to (including the quick-connect and hoses). It's the "aluminum block" piece that I am trying to identify. It has 2 bolts holding it on to the RV frame and 3 openings. One the quick-connect goes into, and the other 2 the hoses attach to. I hope this helps to further clarify. It must have a special name, because when I search for propane parts I can't find it. ------------- 2018 R-Pod 176T 2008 Honda Pilot AWD |

Normally that would be called a manifold. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

Sorry Madcity. I didn't read your question correctly. However mjlrpod has correctly identified the part. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

This is known as a tee in plumbing, along with street elbows and plugs and caps. Was not able to find this mountable alum tee, but found a brass tee:
