Abstract: This paper gives a proof that the universal cover of a closed 3-manifold built from three $p{i}_1$-injective handlebodies is homeomorphic to $mathbb{R}^3$. This construction is an extension to handlebodies of the conditions for gluing of three solid tori to produce non-Haken Seifert fibered manifolds with infinite fundamental group. This class of manifolds has been shown to contain non-Haken non-Seifert fibered manifolds.
