I'm racking my brains over the same issue as described in another post from this forum.. (Same title, but I don't know how to link threads..)
Trying to go from a 2" XH cast iron hub to 2" ABS. The 2" CI hub ID is 3-1/4" and I've been scouring the web for a compression seal/gasket/dognut that would fit this hub.
I know the gentleman in the previous thread finally used a short piece of 2" CI, oakum and lead. That's cool, but my fitting is at a 45 deg angle from vertical and for a first timer at packing a joint with lead, a little more sporty.
I've removed the 1-1/2" CI branch and have temporarily used a 2x3 Fernco (3" over the bell end) to keep things flowing. (I naively believed my local Ferguson dealer when I had specifically asked for a 2x2 Extra Heavy Fernco dognut and later found it to be SW. Don't know who was the dumb bunny on this one - ah, second thought, don't answer that.)
Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows for sure if there is a compression gasket out there that will fit this hub. If not, any detailed directions on how to pour at this angle would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and great info on these forums.
