Hello,
I am planning to installing the Schluter Kerdi shower system in my basement shower remodel. After removing all of the old drain hardware the shower stall area, I discovered that the old cast iron drain pipe stub was the perfect height for the Kerdi drain.
The drain has a 2" ABS solvent weld-on fitting. It slips perfectly over the 2" cast iron pipe.
My question is can I attach the ABS drain DIRECTLY to the cast iron pipe???
I am aware that you can use a Fernco-type adapter to go from cast iron to ABS, but that would involve having to cut the cast iron down a bit and installing a section of ABS to attach to the drain. I was wondering if you could somehow attach the ABS drain directly onto the cast iron pipe?
Is it possible or just a pipe dream???
Thanks!
