Default Name that part? (Got it: Thermo Vacuum Valve)

So I was replacing the vacuum lines and must have been pulling one of the hoses at the wrong angle because I snapped off one of the arms on this bolt. It is found under the intake manifold, and screws into the coolant system. Vacuum hoses connect two each of the black arms.

I super-glued the broken arm back on, but need to order a new one, just to be safe. Anyone know the official name? (brownie points for a part number)

Thanks in advance for your consistent and general wisdom.

Talking Floor Matting

Sorry, I don't know the part number, but I would change that floor matting. Some pics from those babes at http://www.frwilk.com/ would be much better!

Bypass it. It is only to keep the throttle body from freezing in extremely cold weather. Cap the throttle body end, and cap the purge valve end.

I broke this when I was R&Ring my head, and bought another one. My recolection was that it went to the valve that connects to the evaporative recovery system (charcoal canister). Am I thinking of a different part? Because what I'm thinking of doesn't seem to be able to do much with the TB.
