    crack in cast iron

    so you're saying that whole section (leaded at top of the T and the small section on the bottom) is all galvanized, good to know. I've never heard of a Tucker Tee, would this be original or a repair? HJ, would more photos help you get a better idea of the job and how to proceed? thanks for all...

    crack in cast iron

    thanks Lurker, points well taken not using the ABS. The pipe cutters causing a bigger mess was my worry. by a "little more demo" do you mean open the space up more for the purpose of using a sawsall or just that it will be easier to work on with more of the stack exposed?

    crack in cast iron

    Hey guys, Well I was unlucky enough to have a crack in the drain line somewhere inside the wall. I cut out the drywall and found the problem. Pics are below. There are two big cracks in the bushing that is screwed into the san t (in the photo you can see my temp epoxy fix where it is). I've...

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    Much appreciated (sorry for calling you Phil, that was the name in your sig, now it says Ron. So I don't know what to call you haha). So the "c" section of the sission fitting (from above photo) slides into the lower half of the vertical stack. Then you put your wye fitting in and slide the...

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    Dang! So one more thing not done right. At least I'm getting the real deal here. So does that mean I'm going to have to lead the joints now? Also how does that sission fitting work? does it slip inside the stack? There is a wall on the right hand side of the stack. Do they make double wyes...

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    Thanks for the heads up Terry, I didn't relize that the 4x3 was slightly longer. I thought I could just switch them out. This sounds like the best way to proceed. I do have just a few more questions. First does the photo in post #6 look right, concerning connecting the tub drain with the...

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    HJ i'm going to try and tackle this this weekend. can I use a 45 or 90 to drop the shower drain to meet the lateral line as described in photo above? Also how does this look for the 4x4x4 stack fitting layout (photo below)? Is this what you were talking about when you said hook both shower and...

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    I'm having a hard time visualizing this, what would the fixture end up looking like? Understood, what is the pitch per foot I should be aiming for? And if it's too steep to connect as show will this work? pic below

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    Man, I'm glad I posted up. Why didn't they just do it right the first time. Are there any constraints on how it gets plumbed in? I'm thinking something like this (photo below). Are there special transitional PVC fixture used with plastic lead that join PVC to iron?

    Can I change cast iron out for PVC?

    Hi guys, 2 years ago we had an ejector pump put in the basement to rough out a bath down there, and the plumbers ran most of the work in PVC. Except for the lateral line that feeds in to the soil stack. That they did in cast iron. So now I've got my basement ceiling open and have discovered the...

    Settting option for preformed shower pan

    That makes perfect sense. What's the "right stuff" as far as mortar is concerned? Should it ever be used to finish off the leveling of the acrylic base?

    I have a fiberglass shower base I am installing in a basement bathroom. I have all the stub out plumbed with 2" cast iron a concreted. I left the length sticking out of the concrete long so I can cut it to length. I am wondering what that lenght is? Should the top edge of the pipe be flush...
