I know pvc needs to be supported every 4' when it's ran horizontally. ABS is probably the same.

Follow up question...After reviewing proper ABS joint gluing instructions I'm a little worried I used too much cement and/or allowed some to run down in to the pipe. Aka the puddling bits on the cement can instructions.

When I glued the short 1.5" pipe in to the top/vertical hub of the tee some cement ran down in to the pipe and dried there.

I'd imagine a problem wouldn't present itself for years but the OCD/perfectionist side of me wants to redo it. Is this an issue in a DWV environment? Do you think I should build a new combo and be a bit more careful with the glue?

Probably don't worry about it. But given that you put it in with 3 banded couplings, you have the option to take everything apart and inspect for problematic puddles.
