    when to use a stub stack?

    I need to run a new soil 5m to an outside manhole. I also want to put the sink waste and basin waste into the same pipe. Ive got a choice of using a pan connector with a 40mm tapping on top or building a stub stack and teeing everything in. What do you think? Any advice appreciated.
