It's also known as:
- Flute valve
- Reed valve
- Cylinder bulb
- Bulb
- Switch valve
... there's probably 10 other names I'm missing...
Anyways, I have lots in stock if you need, but from what you're describing, it actually sounds like it's the loading nozzle that's busted. It's usually very difficult to notice, as the crack is flush, but if you flex the nozzle perpendicular to the axis of its length so that the top of it stretches out, you'll see the crack magically appear right before your eyes. I use to have tons of broken ones here, but threw them all away. Otherwise, I'd show you a video or picture of how to identify it. You usually can't see the damage unless you stress the part.
