adding a T to a 90degree bend

[john90]

i need to t off 22mm CH pipes (flow and return) to connect a rad but the only place that is accessable in on the 90degree bends. Is there a fitting available that would achieve this?

I know cutting the pipe would be very awkward but i need to cut the pipe anyway because the current connection to the radiator tee's up above floor level just after the bend and was previous hidden behind a false wall that the old WC was attached to. I don't want to box it in. Sorry but i can't show a pic.
Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean, but if your asking if you can 'add' something on to an existing elbow to make it a tee, then no.. you can replace the elbow for a tee though?

the only place i can cut the pipe and add my T, would be on the bend itself. i can't get in enough either side of the bend to cut on a straight bit of pipe. Thanks

Ahh right sorry you mean a pulled bend rather than a fitting. Can you not chop it either side of the bend and pipe it back up with 2 coupling's and a tee? I don't know of any fitting that will fit on a bend due to the shape size of pipe, it's kind of strecthed when it's bent.

ah of course, i forgot the pipe narrows - i'll just have to cut on the very small section of straight pipe that i can get to - thanks SAM
