Here is a connection to a chimney that was done years ago that is a very dangerous and illegal connection. All vents for plumbing need to penetrate or go to the roof level outside without connecting into a chimney that serves the purpose for exhaust gasses for a furnace or water heater.

There is no way this is a legal connection in plumbing. Transition of piping material between abs plastic and galvanized steel requires a specific, watertight connection that is code approved.
The comments in the post about this unfolding tragedy here. Lots of glue was used to make the connection water tight, not no more!  |

The video above is plumbing in a mobile home trailer, and you can see by the way the work was performed, nothing is up to code, nor is it considered 'licensed and inspected' by a plumbing inspector. This is where too often that people who try to do plumbing on their own goes horribly wrong and this is the result of just that. Good grief! |
