    Tech 7 will seal but it won't hold if the pipe is under any stress or pressure. It won't weld the pipe to the fitting like waving cement would

    No, the tec7 will breakdown over time from the chemicals in the detergents.
    You need to use proper pipe solvent, itherwise it will leak.

    Put in two pipes and blank off one :pac:. Use the proper pipe weld.
