I am extending my sprinkler system. I can do it by tapping into an existing
underground circuit of 3/4" PVC pipe.

All I need to do is insert a PVC T into the existing pipe. I can cut the old
pipe, but how can I insert a T in this space *between the immovable ends of
the cut pipe.

Is there a special Tee that can be slipped in there?

Thank you

Walter-

Forget all the complicated / hard work suggestions offered so far.....

use a glue on snap Tee, they work!

That's the first time I've seen those. That's a great idea. That would
be easy. Just make sure the pipe is cleaned real well before gluing.
