One last hint. The people who make the Unidapt series of adapters make a capacitive tee that uses the Unidapt adapters for the through connectors, and a nice slide clamp coupling unit to a BNC that makes it easy to change your injection level. All the way in, it'll ALMOST touch the center conductor. It's insulated off by a Teflon piece that will keep it from shorting to the center element. I don't remember what it cost, because I'd never be without it again. I have the Unidapt adapters for the side of my Bird 43 and the capacitive tee stays in the lid of the Bird's leather case with the spare slugs. The Unidapt kit fits nicely under the Bird's leather handle, and it's all ready to go. It makes it really easy to work.

I will disassemble a tee and isolate one port. Since I don't need absolute values, the actual attenuation on the sampling port is really irrelevant. The purpose is to connect a spectrum analyzer and/or receiver to tune duplexers and see how clean/unclean the transmitter is. In either case, my measurements are relative to a signal on the same coax, so this should work just fine.
