I would recommend the t-junction method over this one. It doesn't sound very reliable. It probably wouldn't impress inspectors either.

We got some 1/8" pipe caps (brass) at the hardware store, and screwed the straight tube to threaded adapters into them to accomplish this. The caps don't cost much and are easy to find.

As far as I can tell this is allowed by the rules.

If we have any trouble at inspection, we'll go back to the looped Ts....

Never had it fail or not pass inspection. I will admit the other method would be prettier.
