  1. ferco coupling to tie into it.


  2. Cut the pipe, make sure it allows for room to fit the T piece, buy some glue from Hardware store, it seals like cement, wont budge, make sure your paint it all the way round where it will insert into the T, can buy many kinds of T pieces, with blank end or the new section that is at 45 degrees with a thread, depends on what you are doing. It is easy

  3. One significant question is whether the lines can be moved or not.  If they can't then special couplings are required to put the tee in.  The special couplings can be a rubber type tee (like the one previously mentioned) with hose clamps on the ends or a pvc coupler with a sliding section.

    You can cut the pipe and wiggle the rubber tee on and tighten the clamps.  Then put a pipe coming from the other drain into the top of the tee and tighten the clamp.

    Or, and this is not that easy, cut a section from the pipe that gets the tee.  Glue in a tee and then add the coupler with the sliding section to close up the pipe.  Then glue the other drain pipe into the tee.

  4. If the two lines will be running parrelel to 1 another..you will need your two lengths of pipes..one 90 degree elbow and 1 T...running the pipes pareelel put the elbow on the side of the secondary pipe..thus turning towards the other pipe where the T is attached..take another piece of pipe run from the elbow to the T..then the remaining opening in the T you attach the pipe going to the source of where you are draining the water to..
