Folks,
Have a very old colonial farm house with cast iron plumbing...I have a 4" cast iron trap in the basement that is connected to my city sewer line that has rusted out completely.I applied a very large bandage to this rusted out section but would like to come up with a permanent fix.I had a plumber look at it and he backed off ....he was afraid of damaging the sewer line that exits the house.My question is can I replace this trap with a plastic and fernco fittings or do you suggest otherwise..........thanx for your time...VSR
