It's just a Y-connector -- except that it has a 1.4mm / 0.055" orifice in
the skinny arm which is no doubt what broke off.   If you have trouble
getting the part you can make an orifice from brass or plastic -- a number
54 drill is exactly right, though it will probably drill oversize if you
don't sneak up on it with some smaller drills.  If you need one and can't
make it I can make one.
