Post a picture, if it is on the tank side of the pump, it is probably an winterizing connection.  Drain system, turn valve, stick end of line in antifreeze jug, and open each faucet till pink stuff comes out. Mine usually takes two people, one of us to wahch and replace the jug, and the other inside to open and watch the faucets.  Refer to other posts for winterizing full instructions.

Sounds like a siphon hose for winterizing.The end sticks into a jub of RV antifreeze and gets sucked up with pump.Here is sample from Valterra kit

Ditto, but need to add that you also have to turn off the valve going to the fresh water tank, or the pump will suck air instead of antifreeze.

Every one we have had is one valve. One way opens one side, the other way opens the other side.
