Abstract

A system and method are provided for abandoning a tee assembly. The tee assembly comprises a tee member, a plug, and a retention member. The tee member is coupled to a conduit and defines a main passage and a branch passage. The main passage extends into the conduit, and the branch passage extends to the main passage. The plug is slideably disposed in the branch passage and extends at least partially into the main passage. The retention member is slideably disposed in the main passage and configured to interlock with the plug within the main passage. The plug is substantially prevented from sliding out of the branch passage when the plug is interlocked with the retention member.
