I have a line from the sink to the other side of the house that I cannot unclog by snaking or using Bio-Clean. It's about 40 feet long with a couple of twists before it disappears into the wall and goes for I'm not sure how much further. The horizontal 40 feet is not slanted well for at least 20 of those feet. I plan to try to slant it at 1/4 inch per foot, but I have also decided I want to cut the pipe right before it disappears into the wall and add a cleanout to see if I can snake it from there and/or use Bio-Clean. Based on what I've seen reading (I'm not even a novice plumber), I should be able to cut the pipe and add a wye. I was hoping for a little confirmation before I did that and make sure that was the best way or at least a good way. And also make sure the piece I was planning to use is what I'm calling a wye. Below is a snapshot of what I am calling a wye. Also, below that is a snapshot of the pipe as it nears disappearing into the wall (behind the duct work). Any confirmation or alternate suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug
