The TVR-1180C Mk1 Stack Tri-Coupler is a unique module that allows for a single rocket to branch into 3 separate stacks. Note that Liquid Fuel flows through couplers/struts.

Usage

The TVR-1180C is a Coupler, but not a Decoupler, meaning that it does not jettison anything nor does it add a stage to the rocket. It branches into 3 separate stacks, but they are unsupported and prone to bending or breaking if the weight and thrust are not properly distributed. Rockets incorporating a tri-coupler are also likely to wobble. The tricoupler is also subtly asymmetrical, so rockets must have control options to correct for induced pitch, yaw, and/or roll.

Description

The Stack Tricoupler! If your stack is lacking in awesomeness, this is the tool for you! Just remember that this is not a decoupler, and won't separate stages.
