Could you use something like this tap connector?

That adapter works great but one serious pce of caution. Don't be tempted to use the hot tap with the cold.

What will happen is the pressure if the cold is so strong it forces it's way back up the hot tap into the cylinder then to the attic tank where at best it will come out the overflow

At worst if the overflow cannot keep up it will come out in your attic
