That's what he doesn't want to do. He got the T for free if you read the post.
If you try everything and nothing works, you might as well try sticking an end cap on the pipe and pressuizing the T. It should blow off at ~20 psi.

It's amazing how helpful people are. Most of the peolpe around where I live would be like, uh I don't know, and then leave you sitting there with a stuck pipe.

If the pipe is solvent welded (glued) there is no way to get the pipe apart. If you can't pull the pipe apart it's probably glued.

First of all don't test at full pressure. Second I wouldn't recommend using "used" pipe, you can't be sure how its been used or if it's really in good working condition. I personally would never use a glue joint that I just found laying around. My suggestion is new pipe, new fittings, and new glue joints.

You can still use it for a barrel though. Just cut of the fitting and glue on whatever reducers or whatever you need.
