Hi,

What issues will I face trying to put a tee here and what should I do
to overcome them?

Many thanks in advance!

Depends on what is in the pipes, and how much pressure it is under.
A Tee could be as easy as taking a sawzall and cutting out an inch or
so & putting in a compression Tee,
or as complicated as cutting out enough (exactly) for a union, nipple
and Tee and threading the cut off ends.

Define "here".

I see three pipes and no indication of where you want to put the tee.

I had much the same thought.

That said, the red painted device is called a union. A union is used when
it's not practical to unthread everything back to the appliance, to thread
things back together. Unions consist of two pieces, plus a threaded nut that
tightens and loosens. To replace a union with a tee is going to be
essentially impossible.

Didn't bother to look at the pictures, but if there's one union already,
inserting a piece containing a tee and another union shouldn't be too
much of a trick unless there's no length available.

Is this related to your earlier "Moving a gas dryer 20 feet" posts?

No problem. Take apart the union, take off one pipe, cut 5-6" off it,
rethread it with your ratchet threader, and use short nipples to get
the union back in place. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so.

Thanks!

It was my first time threading and doing it in-place was a pain, and
took a hell of a lot longer than 20 minutes, but the results are good.

Bubba, perhaps you don't live in Philly, but local plumbers were
asking $350-$500 for the job.

Simply replacing a union with a tee is impossible.

Just have to crank out a length of pipe, and replace it with two shorter
lengths, a union, and a tee.

Well, then, crank out the length of pipe. Take it outdoors, and chain it to
your pipe table.

DOH!

_ASSUMING_ there's room in the run for something to be added, that
there's a union there already would make it pretty simple to cut in the
tee. That's what I said.

Again, jeesh!!!!

Wow! Never would have tried to do it in place. Love my Rigid Tri-
Stand for that sort of thing. Glad to hear it worked on for you
anyway.
