    Posted: 10 Jun 2018 at 2:25pm

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!

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.

Normally that would be called a manifold.

Sorry Madcity. I didn't read your question correctly.  However mjlrpod has correctly identified the part.

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:
