: : I'm replacing a 16" cast iron riser to a toilet with abs. I'm told it's OK to use okum with mortar in the old cast iron hub. : Nevermind, the point is moot anyway. The city finally called me back, and they don't allow any plastic in a CI hub. I hate to do it, but I've called a plumber. I'd love to pour my own lead, but I don't relish the thought of teaching myself how to do it and possibly exploding a pot of hot lead. : Thanks for the help anyway. Reply: Good choice in your decision and thanks for posting back. Another option came to thought, insert a push gasket (Tyler seal) into the hub and use the ABS or PVC, if permitted. Good Luck. e-plumber
