I cut out a vertical section of 4" cast iron and replaced it w/a section of 4" PVC, tied to the remaining cast iron w/ 4" Fernco mission style rubber couplings on each end. The bottom coupling leaks from the cast iron side of the joint. I don't think I can tighten it anymore, and it still leaks!
I don't know what to do - is it a bad coupling or could the cast iron have a deformity. The cast iron looks ok and the cut I made was very clean. Would a banded rubber coupling work better?
This has never happened to me before. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
