Hello I have an air pump that has place for two hoses to come out.

I just bought a gang valve, thing is it only has one in hole and three out, what do I do with the other hose that comes off my air pump??
I hope you understand if you need pics or brands feel free to ask.

You can buy a Y connector. It'll take the two airline outs and connect to one airline which you can then use for the gang valve :%)! Most LFS's should carry them around their other air equiptment.
I have a dual out airpump ( somewhere) when I was using it I'd sometimes only use one air out. Not sure if this damages the pump but if you need it running right now and can't get the connectors that might be an option.

Angeleel all of my airpumps are duals...I just use both of them....2 pieces of hosing for each...now if you want 4 sections of airline with air...

cut one piece of the hosing shorter say 3-4 inches...connect it to the invalve of the gang valve you bought...then connect 3 pieces of the correct length that you need for use in the tank to the 3 outvalves, and use as if it were straight from the pump...viola there you go...heidi
