Routing Component-Component Problems

Hi all,

I hope somebody could help me out.  I am having trouble when trying to put routing components side by side without a pipe involved.  For example, I insert a tee, delete one section of that pipe, then I want to add a reducer bushing at the end of that section.  I cannot figure out how to have solidworks auto-mate the bushing to the end of the tee like it would at the end of a line (pipe) section.  Another example is if I want to put in a flange-butterfly valve-flange section.  Thanks for any help.
