Siamese connection

Two 3-way splitters with Storz connectors.

A Siamese connection or splitter in fire protection engineering is a pipe fitting that allows two or more fire hoses to be connected to a single standpipe riser at the same general location.

It is so-called due to the visual similarity to Siamese twins.
