Hi all,
New poster on the forum, been lurking a bit. I have an upstairs toilet that was leaking. Long story short, there is a hole in the lead bend so it needs to be removed. Cast pipe is 4". It had been worked on before based on cut planks when I tore the floor off..The hubs of the cast sit proud of the floor joist so I want to get those out. I am thinking of cutting the section between the 45 degree elbow and the stack and then replace with 1/8" per foot pitched 3" PVC and a shielded Fernco on the remaining cast pipe.
My main question is, will a horizontal 45 degree PVC elbow cause problems or should I do two 22.5 degree elbows for less of a tight turn? is there a better option for this bend? Toilet needs to stay where it is.Thanks!
