Hello,
Just wondering if anyone can give some insight on my plumbing problem. I am replacing a toilet in the basement, and am wondering the best way to connect the new PVC to the existing cast iron drain.
The Cast iron has an OD of 6" and an ID of 5". There are no Fernco couplings which show an acceptable ID of 6", and I have tried similar couplings with an ID of 5.5" (too small) and 6.5" (too large).
Also, since the ID of the cast iron is 5", and the OD of the PVC is 4.5", it does not give much room for a gasket.
If anyone has any ideas or comments, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
