Vented loop replacement vent?

The valve on the vented loop broke off (see pic) and I cant seem to find a replacement. There is 3/8" imprinted on the white plastic hex piece thats still attached, but I cant find a make/model. Has anyone see a vented loop like this before?

Likely a Scot Pump Co. siphon break. They are perhaps the most reliable ones out there, if they don't break off....

Looks like an engine siphon break. If so you could run a small diameter tube from the top of it discharging into the cockpit to act as a telltale to check the cooling water is working as well working as a siphon breaker.
I used a needle valve at the top of the vented loop and a copper tube. If the normal flow rate slows, I screw the valve in and back open which breaks up the salt crusty bits.
