so I've got one air tank and I want three hoses to come from that tank. These hoses need to be able to spin around. Kinda like the Yo Yo ride at carnivals, all the swings are attached to the same center but they don't get tangled. Is there any atachment that can do this?

  1. Try adding a quick-disconnect connector pair before your three-hose split.  The quick disconnect will allow rotation while maintaining an air-tight connection.

    As for the three hoses, try a "cross" (four-way) connector attached to the quick-disconnect.

    If you want the three hoses to exit parallel to one another, add 90-degree elbows to the two side connections on the "cross."

    I'm assuming your tank uses standard fittings for pneumatic tools, etc.  Although the idea could apply to other cases.  All parts should be available at Home Depot, or your local home improvement store.

    In summary:

    Input Hose > Quick Disconnect Pair > Cross > Elbows/Output hoses.
