It's 3" ABS so it does not weigh that much. However, does no one make a
support system that installs within the wall (as opposed to supporting it
from below)?

I know that I can wrap it with 'plumbers tape' and nail the tape ends to
my studs. Easy to do where you can get a bite because of a fitting. How
about mid-length? It would be easy if they made a 'glue-on' (ABS)
quarter circle with floppy straps that could be nailed to the studs.

Checked with both box stores and ACE. Nobody knows of a better way to
support stack than to simply wrap it tightly with the metal plumbers
tape.

Any other ideas? Thanks god it isn't cast iron.

Thanks,

Thanks everybody!!!

It never occurred to me that I could modify a coupling into a support
piece. Great idea, and, they are very inexpensive!

Thanks again,

Ivan Vegvary
I do not know where they can be obtained now, but 3" pipe supports
definitely used to exist. You could get them for fastening to the plates or
the studs. Check in the places that carry gas furnace vent pipes if you
can't find them at plumbing suppliers.
