Default What is this called?

I need to figure out what this is, can anybody identify it for me?
I need to replace a hose that goes to it but all I can find is universal fittings that don't have a bleeder screw.

:/ yes it's the bleeder valve.
You actually cut very carefully the metal crimps holding the bleeder to the hose and just re use the same bleeder with normal hose clamps.

The crimps probably won't hold after being cut in anyway. Use new hose clamps to re use the same bleeder valve.

Wow, didn't realize that was disconnected. I took the intake off yesterday to locate the leak. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ive seen the bleeder in the help section with clamp on ends, you can also do a Throttle body bypass and cap of the third small line going to the "T". You'll need to cap off the other end as well.

I cut the crimped fitting off and used a regular clamp on the new hose and it works. Thanks for the help.
