Architect here…using Boral more and more to void that very problem. Yes, PVC can withstand heat technically but has large thermal expansion, so, yes, it sags and twists and shrinks and joints open up..

I LOVE TOH & the guys & have forever....HOWEVER... why not layout/plan the plumbing FIRST then move/build walls second? I would AND... underneath the z bend I would apply a small bead of OSI before installing the flashing. I call it 'back caulking'... & I would put a smidge on the end of the 'water table' or I call it a ledger, when butted against the vertical corner board. If a little water gets behind the initial surface, it really won't get too far.

Chain cutters for cutting large cast iron pipe are extremely expensive. A much less expensive option is a Diablo Steel Demon Carbide Teeth reciprocating saw blade. These blades are not cheap, but they cut through a large pipe in 5 minutes and I could reuse it several times. I'd also tried the better metal cutting blades from Milwaukee and Lenox, and it took over an hour to make one full cut and it destroyed 5 of those blades. Of course, I only learned about the carbide demon blade option after I'd bought a used chain cutter on Craigslist that ended up also being a terrible buy as the chain blades were too dull (replacement chains are incredibly expensive).
