Taking Out A 28mm Tee to Replace With Connector On Pipe With NO PLAY

[Best]

There looks to be just enough length of 15mm from the branch of the tee to put a brass stopend on. Pity about the poor soldering with the solder running down it though, but it could be removed

If they are heating system pipes I would drain system well in advance so that most of the water will have drained away. If possible drain it a day or two before you do the work. Then just got to get rid of any water lying in pipes and in any dips near where you are soldering, like the pipe bent below and up into a tee. Usually blowing through pipes, or using a vetvac or a small bore piece of plastic tubing to syphon some water out will do the trick.

Good advice thank you

Great point.. Will cap that one at that point.

Taking Out A 28mm Tee to Replace With Connector On Pipe With No PLAY

How do i replace a 28mm tee with a connector when the pipes are rigid and fixed on both sides? I.E.. I can't pull the pipe together to get them into a push fit connector.

Do I replace a section with plastic pipe that will bend? Do I put two connectors in and a fresh piece of pipe and just work the new angles? Is there a special fitting for this situation?

Thank you!

Hello one option you have is take out 28 mm tee if its copper you are fine get 2 28 mm copper connectors and with a round file and half round file use your files to file out the stop in the fittings this way it will push up on pipe then cut the length of 28mm pipe you need make sure you thin the ends of this pipe with solder mark were the stop is on the pipe from the solder connector and solder same with PVC same thing Dave01
