    Hi Guys:

    Like Harold said, if you can post some pics we can help better. It would be nice to know the type of pipe, the distance we're traveling, and the depth we have to work with... ;)

    Most important at this point will be to point out that you will be cutting a WYE fitting into the main drain line. You cannot cut a sanitary TEE fitting into the main.

    Get back to us and we'll see what else we can tell you.
