I want to install a tee in that 36" section of the hot water supply line. No problem cutting the pipe. I figure I can use a hack saw or something like that, but sweating in the new tee has me stumped, as I don't want to burn up my header and I'm not sure how to get complete solder all the way around since I can't get to the back side of the connection that is against the header.
Also, there is no play in the pipes to move them to install the tee.
How do you guys handle a situation like this?
Thanks...Randy
