i just noticed that there is a vaccuum junction shaped like a trident. there is a single connection at the other end and there is a tear in it where it meets the cross tubing.



1. what is this really called?
2. this attaches in the middle to a yellow plug that has two lines pluging into it. today the yellow plug came loose twice . what is the fix for this? I know i need a new one but how do i stop the disconnect?

It originally looks like this but gets bent into the trident shape. Sounds like you need a new one.

one of those 4 way connectors i keep reading about.

thanks
