Hi,
First post. I've got a question about an ABS DWV repair I'm attempting. I have leaky joint on the right side of the tee in the attached photo. You can see where someone (not me) attempted a repair with what looks like PVC cement. Anyway it didn't work. Rather than attempt another chemical fix my plan is to cut out the tee and put a new one in.
Here's my question. For the 1.5" ABS downpipe coming from a second floor sink drain, can I use a slip joint fitting there? I have 2" all hub tee and would like to use a 2" spigot x slip joint fitting for the downpipe. If it is kosher do I want a 2" spigot x 2" slip joint fitting, or a 2" spigot x 1.5" slip joint fitting?
Something like this...

Sorry if I don't have all the plumbing jargon correct.
Any other repair advice for this would be greatly appreciated. My plan is to recouple the 2" horizontal lines is to use a flexible coupler on one side and a conventional ABS coupler on the other.
