I am extending my sprinkler system. I can do it by tapping into an

All I need to do is insert a PVC T into the existing pipe. I can cut

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

Most hardware stores have what is called a slip fix telescoping
connector.
It slips over the end of your pipe on wide end (use primer and glue)
then
uses either a coupling or slip T on the other. The slip fix uses "O"
rings
to seal so it can telescope out. Just do not use on the main line that
has
constant pressure they are designed for intermittent pressure only.

The post is over a year old, but all he needs is a
snap on tee. No cutting, no mending.

Or just dig out a couple of feet along the pipe, lift up, cut out enough to
accomodate a regular tee, attach tee to ends, push all down.
