    ^^^ I would totally do that. Or put a stub of pipe on that tee, get one of those caps, you know, and drill a hole in it, then glue in a piece of the small-diameter pipe with some PVC cement. The solution above is more elegant though.

    I have certainly utilized some creative PVC fitting combinations over the years… In a pinch you use what you have;-)

    Then put them in a museum, instead of on the top of a pair of speakers.

    For the cheap amusement of watching the guys at discount tire try to remove the tire
    from the rim. They don't know how to deal with an inter tube. I saw this once. Those guys
    are so used to no braining their work, their heads exploded. That tire didn't look much
    better than the one pictured.

    That's like that meme someone posted recently about the guy who went to an auto parts store asking for some specific bulk fuel line, and the counter rep's brain suffered an unexpected reboot, requiring year, make and model to be able to function.
    I disabled signatures.

    To quote BTO,

    I could throw in a Ray Bradbury quote, maybe something from Shakespeare, too 🤔

    But ...nope. 👀
