This part looks machined, not cast, although many of these kind of parts looks cast.

Start from a solid block.
Cut into 'L' shape
machine one connector
machine second connector

I'm guessing start out with squarish cross section "L", then turn down and bore each leg as need be.
You could potentially cast in barb features, and the round leg to subsequently thread but I'd be a little surprised if the bores or thread were cast. Also if cast I'm not sure I'd expect the 'corner' portion to be quite as square.
Looks like there may be machine marks on the bores & barb but can't be sure at the resolution of image you provided.

It's even cost- competitive, because you can buy brass on a net-use basis (Collect, wash and dry the chips and the supplier will buy them back.).

But that benefit was "clawed back" about ten years ago.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

Near net shape forgings are normally left unmachined in an area where you can see
the heavy flash that extrudes out from between the dies,
as opposed to the slight mismatch at the cope/drag interface
that's characteristic of castings.
It could have been made from a forged bar, but you'd need certs
to have some assurance of that.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
