This basically connects to the PCV valve, radiator heat is then introduced by the barb fittings to the mini heat-exchanger (where his finger is pointing to). The hoses are then connected to the water tube, and it prevents icing of the PCV Valve.
I've spent hours this am trying to find a replacement source for this.
It seems many sites have no listing for this at all.
From another site trying to identify it:

From an ebay seller a complete air intake housing:

Mine is literally about as hard as a rock. I am asssuming any used hose would be in about the same condition. I've tried half a dozen different vendors - nothing.
This is a short, reducing (14mm to 10mm) molded hose within a 45 degree bend. I don't think a straight hose can be bent in that configuration without kinking.
If not available... as it seems... any work arounds? The best I can come up with is to find a molded 45-degree bend in 14mm, and then a 2mm short hose to put on the heating element, and then put the 14mm hose OVER the 2mm hose. Basically, using a thin hose over the small fitting to allow the 14mm hose to connect. Maybe...?
I have seen one post from a guy in OZ - he basically deleted it, as he never gets to below freezing.
As much as southern AZ is a mecca for RVers spending the winter (Snowbirds), our 4000+ foot elevation means we have at least 3-4 weeks below freezing, with at least a week of that below 10F.
Hm. Just thought of something else - maybe make a loop, with a reducing male-male barb in the middle? Like this?

With the added length of a loop, I think it should work; kinda ghetto though...
