Hi All,
I am remodeling my kitchen and when the contractor pulled off my old cabinets, I noticed there was a screw in a vertical drain pipe running from the second floor to first floor that drains a sink and HVAC condensate. Long story short, he did not call a plumber to fix it, but used a slide coupling that would be used for something like a sprinkler fix, similar to the below link.
I know this is not right, but:
1. Will it work, or will it clog or leak over time
2. If the right way is to open the drywall back up, should he use a Fernco and if so, which kind? Classic rubber, no hub or a shielded coupling
Thanks in advance
