I think this part was used in Legos early pneumatic history. You ran a hose from your pump to the center port on the 2 X 4 brick. You then ran a hose from each side port to the top and bottom ports on you pneumatic switch. Another hose ran from the center port of the switch to the cylinder. The old cylinders only had one port located at the bottom.
Disclaimer: My 2 X 4 brick was grey, not black, so things might have changed. It's been a while since I have used my old cylinders and my memory isn't what it used to be, so take the hose routing with a grain of salt.
Best of Luck,
Duane
