Cast iron to PVC - Plumbing Zone

TryTibbs · 08-07-2009, 04:14 PM

I have a concrete floor with 2 inches of 4 inch cast iron sticking up. I need to immediately go to a PVC 4 inch sanitary "T". I cant use a coupling as I wont be able to get the drain slope right so I need to adapt the PVC socket to the 4 inch cast. Is there a method of doing this? In other words, I would like to slip the socket over the cast iron. I need to come out of the "T" as close as possible to the floor.

14 years in the UAW as a plumber and pipe fitter. How about a simple answer? I just bought a home and want to move a couple sinks and install a drain for a washing machine!

UAW? United AUTO Workers. You did plumbing on cars. A plumber doesn't ask this question. Thanks for playing.
