Does this air tool accessory exist?

I have a wheeled compressor that I sometimes move around. I also have a wall mount air hose reel, with a supply hose leading back to the compressor. When I want to use the reel, I plug the reel's supply hose male connector to the quick disconnect on the compressor's air hose.

I'm looking for a 90 degree fitting that I can mount to the wall. It would be permanently plumbed to the air reel supply hose on the top, and then have that male connector facing outward. That way, I can plug the compressor into this and pressurize the reel.

Does such a thing exist, and if so, what is it called?

Why not just a regular 90 and then screw a male-thread quick disconnect onto it?

Like this, but with an elbow instead of a T:

Yeah, that's close to what I'm looking for, with a 90. I could make one, but was hoping to find a simple pre-made solution.

Why not just get a 90* pipe fitting, remove the male fitting from the reel's hose, and then attach the fitting directly to the reel? Am I missing something here?

I think its called a drop ear elbow. You can get them threaded on both sides of the 90 to screw your hoses or couplers to, and itll have 2 or three ears to screw into the wall with. They're used in plumbing behind a shower head in the wall for instance.

Are you thinking a rigid connection? Like this is mounted to the wall and you will slide the compressor over to snap into it?
You are going to need some flex in the system. A hose with a 90* and then the fitting I think is what you need

I'm a noob to air tools and I need a adapter but not sure what size it needs to be (bigger size) female to 1/4 male.
It's an old wheel around so not sure on size maybe 3/8 to 1/4 reducer or 1/2??? Sorry to hijack the thread 8(
