    Replace closet elbow with PVC?

    Alright, I picked up the No Hub Fitting made of Neoprene with the metal casing around it. Score. Another question: do I put some kind of adhesive/silicon/caulk inside this NoHub before installing it, or will the tension from the metal-band be enough to keep it water-tight? And if so, what...

    Replace closet elbow with PVC?

    I see. Thanks man, I've returned the Fernco and will seek out the appropriate No Hub Fitting. Cutting through the cast iron was a bit tense since I've never done it before. I've already returned the snap-cutter. It certainly lives up to its name. Nice and even cut though. :) As I see...

    Replace closet elbow with PVC?

    Hey Guys, thanks for the fast reply. GrumpyPlumber: I can't say for certain that it isn't a 4", The last photo in my original post shows my measurement for the flange. Here are some things that I'm just uncertain of: I have an old house (1892 built) and I can't say for certain if I have a...

    Replace closet elbow with PVC?

    Hello All, First post here, so be kind. I'm going through a bathroom remodel and came across a problem. My current closet flange has two peculiar attibutes. (1) It is a 10" rough in. (2) It has a 5" flange. So, I know that I can buy a 10", but my option are very limited when...
