Merry Christmas to all! We're waiting for our college age kids to wake up, so I'm planning things.
Background
I'm moving a horizontal drain/vent line serving our second floor shower, in anticipation of installing a 60" shower unit in the future to replace the current 48" unit. The ceiling is currently open, that's why I want to do it now.
I need to move the line from one side of the joist bay to the other, as the current line location would be directly below the drain opening of a 60" shower.
The final connection will be horizontal, at a point where the 2" line is a vent only, and will be between PVC and ABS. Although the previous plumber solvent welded the two, I try to avoid that.
My questions:
I've seen 2 different Fernco fittings at the big boxes that will go 2" to 2". One has the single, wide ss band covering the full width, and has the "stop" ridge in the middle. The other has the two small ss bands at either end, and no center stop. Which one is prefered for the connection I'm making?
Is there an "all purpose" cement approved for joining two different materials?
Thanks in advance.
