So I've begun the process of remodeling the bathroom in my newer-ish (2003 built) house. Were converting a single vanity sink to a dual vanity. My situation is pretty much exactly as described here. I decided to do it the right way and run separate drains for both sinks. This meant I needed to add a 3rd santee to my 3in vertical vent / drain pipe. After cutting the pipe I realized that I had just about zero left/right and up/down play, meaning that I wan't going to be able to slip the santee into place.
My solution was to pickup 2 of these metal wrapped rubber connectors with hose clamps (they have like 10 names, "mission", no-hub maybe, I dunno). See the pictures below. The actual couplers are fernco proflex
I have 3 basic questions.
1. Will this pass code / inspection (permits are pulled I absolutely 100% have to pass inspection). State is MN (of course we have our own plumbing code, so I understand this is a tough question).
2. Would you tighten this up, put the sheet rock on the wall and not worry about this connection for the next 20+ years?
3. Is there a "better" way to do this. Like I said I have 0 up/down play, and maybe .5-1 inch of left/right play.
(P.S. If the couplers look mis-aligned it is because they are currently loose and NOT tight, they align up just fine.)
