I'm removing an old sink trap from a relocated kitchen. What was there was a 2" steel soil stack with a tee close nippled right into another tee with the tee part going up as a vent and tying into the vent stack about 3 feet up and the other arm going to the trap. I cut out the horizontal tee leaving a short threaded 2" stub on the stack and the 1 1/2 vent, but when I tried using rubber connectors to fit an ell to reconnect the stub to the vent the distance is too short to make that work even when I used a 1 1/2 street ell into a 2" bushing.
What does work geometrically is a vent ell right onto the threaded stub. Is there a way to just glue it on? Yes I know I could cut out the vertical tee, or cut open the wall and cut out the vent tee, but I'm trying to keep this simple and not have to repair so much of the old plaster. I'm assuming that just rubber capping off the stub and the bottom of the defunct vent line would not be acceptable and I would at least have to cap the vent where it's horizontal. Thanks for any ideas, even if it's just suck it up and hack out the plaster.
