  Usually the steam supply is from the highest port you can find on  the 
boiler. The injection point can vary from midway on the boiler to near the  
bottom. I don't think I have seen one teed int the trycock? I'm not sure if an  
injector will work if it is injecting above the water level but it might?   I have 
mine teed int a 1" port near the bottom. I have a blow down valve there  and 
a half inch blowdown on the other side of the boiler as well. Seems to work  
fine for me.
 
  I have two half inch injector feeding from the same steam line and  feeding 
water in the same injection line. Each has its own steam valve and check  
valve. One is a low pressure and one is a standard. They work well and even work  
tandem if you wish to inject that much water at once. I like having a back up 
 injector. I will send you picture off the list.
