I posed this question on another forum and just wanted to get more opinions. I will be running all new ABS for a new tub drain and vent and have been advised to essentially begin the transition from copper to ABS where the first 45* elbow is located by "sweating" it off and then using an ABS adapter.
The copper is near the end of it's life, which is why I would like to replace it as far back as possible. I was told that the only way to begin my ABS from the stack, which would enable me to replace the copper toilet drain would be to remove the wye in the stack and then run a ABS toilet drain.
Opinions please.
