How to Connect All DWV Pipe Types

When you find cast, abs, pvc, copper, galvanized & Fernco all in one space.

First problem is those Ferncos are rated for underground use only, the fully shielded type is required above ground.

Second problem is whatever that trap on the right is for, both the UPC and IPC limit the fixture tailpiece height to 24". [Or if it's a laundry standpipe, that could be up to 42" tall, but looks that has been exceeded as well.] So the trap needs raising, with the vent takeoff raised as well and the vent rerouted appropriately. Assuming it's not some other problem, like a double trap.

What you can't see is the whole house trap!

What happened with this transition from ABS to a copper San-T? There wasn't a lot of thought put into the support.
