I have to tie in a 3" ABS line to a vertical copper 3" stack. How do I make the connection?  Regular sanitary tee is much too large.  Is there a special tee that allows making a secure connection?

You first secure the stack from falling with a raiser clamp, (see image) and 2 X 4's.  You will purchase a ABS No Hub Sanitary Tee, (see image) and secure it with No Hub Shielded Couplings,(see image).  Good luck,  Tom

Will this work with the thinner-walled copper 3" stack?

The 3" band should draw down and make a connection to the copper
