You need an RP coupling. Cut the pipe where you need the tee, and at a second
point a couple feet away. Shorten the section between the cuts by exactly
enough length to make room for the tee. Slip the RP coupling onto one end of
that section -- withOUT glue -- then glue the tee onto the other end. Glue the
other side of the tee in place. Align the two pieces of pipe, make a pencil
mark on one side of the joint at half the length of the RP coupling away from
the joint, slather the area around the joint with glue, and slide the RP
coupling in place up to your pencil mark.

Drain pipe, or pressurized water supply?
What's the pipe size? half inch is different than 6 inch drain.
In the cellar, or in a wall?
How far on either side to the next support?

I believe they sell rubber couplings that will do the trick. Don't know if
it's code-worthy for whatever you're using it for.
