Measure the length of your tee, subtract 1 1/2 to 2 inches for each socket depth on the ends. The amount that is left over after you subtract for the sockets is what you want to cut out of the existing pipe. You should be able to spread the pipe apart enough to fit the tee in place when ready to glue. Or you can buy a saddle for the size pipe you want to hook in and use a hole saw for that size pipe and drill the hole in the 3 inch on the side. The saddle will fit around the pipe and cover the hole and now you have a non spliced tee. And make sure you use purple primer and heavy duty grey glue when gluing this. It will never leak and does not disolve from harsh toilet bowl cleaners.

What is the Proper use of cannon plug pliers?

Cannon plug pliers are used mainly for aircraft maintenance. On aircraft there are round electrical connectors (called cannon plugs) consisting of many small pins that insert into one another. On the outside of the connector there is a sleeve that is then screwed down onto the opposite side of the connector to keep it in place. The cannon plug pliers are used to grip the circular sleeve and to turn it from it's locked position to either remove the connector or to lock it back into place. The pliers have rubber gripping material instead of hard metal teeth in order not to damage the electrical connector, and also to prevent the transference of unlike metals that could lead to corrosion on the connector.
