Hmm, I can't tell you all the sets it came in, but I know that I got
one of those pieces with the very first pneumatic set that ever came
out - back in the mid '80s.
Here's a set that used them:

The piece has no valves or anything in it - it's just a hollow brick
with 3 nozzles on it. You can use it to split the air current from
one pnumatic tube to two tubes. The concept is the same as a
splitter for your phone jack or cable tv.
