We classify the compact 3-manifolds whose boundary is a union of 2-spheres, and which embed in T ×I ×I, where T is a triod and I the unit interval. This class is described explicitly as the set of punctured handlebodies. We also show that any 3-manifold in T × I × I embeds in a punctured handlebody.
