I'm now working on putting together the P-trap (for bathroom sink) and connecting it to the vent stack. My question is, if I just cement a long pipe into the wall T, going straight to the P-trap, will this cause me future hassles? If I have problems that would require me to cut back the pipe towards the wall to replace defective parts, I've only got about 4" of pipe to work with before I'll have to open up the drywall to put in a new connection to the stack (what a hassle that will be).
Rather than doing that, can I put in a NPT female or male to coupling adaptor that fits on the end of a 2" length of pipe (which I cement directly into the stack)? Then, I can use the opposite NPT adaptor which will then continue the pipe until it hits the P-Trap assembly. This way, I can always leave that 2" length with the NPT adaptor alone and simply buy the opposite NPT adaptor that would then allow me to replace everything from that point onwards.
Thank you.
