If I have a PVC pipe, and I want to put a T into it in the middle, how
do I do that, if neither end can move back or forth? I've done plenty
of copper, which bends enough usually, but this PVC sometimes won't
budge.

Thanks!

You will need to add a union in addition to the tee. Lowes and home
depot should have a pvc union or one of those compression type
couplings for pvc pipe that will also work.

Can you tell me what the union you mean looks like? I can't see how
anything would work other than a flexible coupling.

Bull! You could use a repair coupling in nearly every instance when
working with PVC.
