I am DIYing the plumbing in my new addition and planned on tying the drains into the main stack in the basement and also the vents into the main stack in the attic. As with all of these projects, little questions pop up that I did not anticipate, like this one:
If I am going to insert a hard ABS sanitary tee on the stack in the basement, I would have to push the main stack pipe up through the roof boot, then back down. I do not want to get up on the roof, so spraying with soap is not something I really want to to do. Am I correct to assume that I will probably damage the boot in the process? Is using a repair boot, with clamps, an inferior joint?
