Aloha folks -
We are researching the possible extension of our CI sewer line in order to add a toilet/shower/vent to the mix. Our sewer ends in a nice clean out about 2' underground running horizontal. The CI itself is quite rusted on the outside - likely due to our proximity to the ocean and the salt content of our sand. (no dirt, just sand!)
We discovered the 4" CI has 3.5" ips so the 4" ABS male coupler didn't work. Trips to Lowes and other stores don't show us ANY threaded coupler solution.
We thought screwing in something would be a MUCH better fit vs the Fernco option. Is there something out there? Specifically what and how do I get my hands on it? We'd like to just continue with a 4" ABS if possible.
If Fernco is our only option: 2 questions: The exterior of the CI is pretty chunky. Will that be an issue? And as this will be in about 2" of sand - salty sand - what is the likelihood of the stainless clamps failing? Stainless means nothing in Hawaii. It's only a matter of time.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!
Denise
