Morning guys.
First of all wanted to thank the many DIY and plumbers that contribute to this forum. I always peeked in here time to time without being a member. I have learned tons and have found tremendous amount of help. Thanks!!!
Now on to my serious problem,,,,
I need to change out my main sewer trap. I know many of you will say to just remove it but from my understanding it is needed by code in NY.
I wanted to ask what the best route to attach a new cast iron trap to the existing pipe?
I thought about cutting it at the "A" point (shown in picture) and attaching on the new trap with a Fernco Coupling, but then im worried about it ending up too long and over shoot the vent (also shown in picture).
So I thought about removing the old trap properly to be able to slide in the new trap and seal it off with a Fernco coupling. Will this work?
Also I have no idea what size or type of Fernco coupling would work best. I looked on the Fernco website and they have ton of options that just confused me.
The OD circumference of the hub is 19 1/12 inches and the pipe itself is 14 1/4
I appreciate any help or suggestions you might have. Thanks in advanced
