Hi
I need to fit a branched connector into an existing stack on the ground floor for a new WC. Due to restrictions I am unable to cut and lift the stack to get the new fitting in. Are there and fittings to overcome this or any tricks?
Cheers

Yes buy an slip socket and slide it right over the pipe, fit the branch and slide the socket down to the center of the two ends

Concentrate on getting the branch in the right place, the socket can be say 3-400mm above the branch.

You will find that O ring fittings will be easier to work with as well, and use plenty of silicon grease
