Hello community, I would like to make a three-way distributor. But no matter how I do it, I can’t create a casing without having walls in the pipe. How do I get these walls out?

Hi @TomSawyer  
Try this. Make your pipes solid (rods instead of tubes). Union them together. **Shell** selecting the faces you want to keep open.

It looks like you have a fitting or threads at the ends, so keep them as you have made them and union them to the shelled out distributor.
