I am reworking some drain lines in an old house. The bathroom sink drain was running up hill. I was able to move some things around and get the pipe running down hill but am having trouble hooking it back up. It does not come out to a 90 degree angle. Is there any kind of flex that is suitable for DWV?

That fitting is NOT allowed inside of a dwelling. It is only allowed underground where the pipe ends can be supported that will keep the two pipe ends aligned. Over time, the pipes will shift and create a restriction that tends to clog. IF you ever need to snake the line, you can also poke a hole in it, if you can get the snake past it in the first place.

You can replicate almost any angle with a couple of smaller angled ones.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
