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



I recommend a standard tee and a compression coupling such as:

I have used KBI cpc-0750, upc code 0 11651 25700 2 made in USA,
for3/4" successfully several times.
