Tee'ing into rigid pipe

[jaydebruyne]

When you have to tee into a pipe (2" waste) which cant be moved either side, whats the best way to get both ends in the tee?

Use a slip collar at one side

Ive used the 4 inch slip collars but never used the 2 inch . Certainly a life saver when lack of play in the pipe.

Fernco rubber coupling if its not on show

It's on an external waste connection in a basement.. Although not on show its still visible... :/

Can't seem to find 2" slip couplings anywhere, do they exist?

i don't know if they exist maybe get a normal one and file off the internal stop?

Ahhhh ok... Sorry my next question is stupid I know but to solvent weld it, I'd push the coupling on end of pipe 1, apply solvent on end of pipe 2 and push it past to I can apply solvent to other side and quickly bring it back?

A GENTLE filing of the ridge will see it go but if you don't think it through glueing can be messy

Use a push fit or compression type connector instead of glued.
I had to fit one of those Hep traps on a basin to replace a standard pedestal trap & I couldn't remove the basin easily plus the 1 1/4" waste pipe was rigid. I used a standard push fit connector but I cut the division part off using a hammer & screwdriver. Did the job as I didn't have a slip fitting.

Oh yes!

And if you're not quick enough and the solvent sets before you've positioned it...

I would go for a fernco personally much less to go wrong

Never seen a slip connector like your speaking of but you can make one as above. My order of assembly would be ...
Make sure all water is out of the pipes, degrease both pipes and the coupling with the cleaner, apply solvent weld to 1 pipe & inside the connector and fit, then wait to check it`s welded ok. Repeat for the other pipe.
If I`ve got doubts on the joint then I add the cement to the outside of the joints and quickly wipe round with the cleaner to give a nice finish but then all my stuff is under pressure.
