Hi all,
I recently cut out the 1.5” galvanized clothes washer stand pipe, p trap, tee, and the pipe between the tee and the cast iron hub.
The cast iron hub was fitted with lead and oakum.
I added a Fernco donut of the best possible size (which was quite tight) and got the PVC in there.
Now I find the PVC is not in line with the old galvanized vent pipe above the tee. The PVC is angled so that it would exit the stud wall and get further and further into the room if I were to extend it to the ceiling all the way.
It seems like the hub is installed a little bit crooked.
I could potentially strap the pvc to get it to line up, but it would take a fair bit of force, and I’m worried about that wearing out the donut prematurely.
Thoughts? How can I get this pvc to point towards the old vent pipe so I can connect the pvc to the vent?
This first pic shows the PVC at the floor. It sticks out about half an inch
This second photo shows the PVC about 2 feet off the ground. Now it sticks out about 1 and a half inches
About four feet off the ground the vent pipe is recessed into the wall about a quarter inch. This is the vent pipe I want the PVC to connect to.
