ordering parts....is it a good idea to have one of these brass baseboard tees for each row of baseboard?

taking a break, letting the dust settle...i'm positive there was asbestos furnace cement under the the newer stuff because my dad had a bag of it i threw out 3 yrs ago.
I do have a 8" opening!
look at all the chunks that came out of the bottom of the chimney! i filled the shop vac with pine needles and feathers. don't think that it was cleaned in decades!

Cool. will pick up a sheet next time i go to to lowes or home depot.
probably going to rip the furnace out next year since i found the rust holes, the heat exchanger tubes are clogged solid too.
Hoping i can use the oil gun on the efm 350 (Scrapper converted it to dual fuel for those who don't remember) going to use a water to air heat exchanger until all the rooms have baseboard. can only afford one loop at a time.

just a FYI: Cement backer board comes in 1/4, 7/16, 1/2 and 5/8 thick in 3' x 5' or 4' x 8' panels.
Thinner can be scored with utilty knife and then snapped on score line...then there is always the saw option.
