I'm working on a new piston design that incorporates a breech loader. The design requires a tee with two slip sockets and one threaded. The thread is not the middle socket though, it's one of the side sockets. I know I've seen em, can anyone help me out?
Need a 2"

If you have room, you could cut up a 1-1/4 female adaptor and solvent weld it in there with some pipe around it.

This looks familiar, let me guess there’ll be a plug of some form screwed on to seal the breach right?

or get a T and put a piece of pipe in it flush with the T and tap 2" hole in it, but thats only good if you have a 2" tap.

correct me if im wrong but don't tees have a lip on the inside towards the center? so the pipe wouldn't be able to travel back that far?
