Hello all, first time posting here. To put it plainly the plumbing in my bathroom is a mess. Instead of telling storys I'll get right into it. I can do about most any thing, but I may not know all the correct terms, so bare with me.
This jack legg was hired before I moved into this place by someone else to fix a few things. He replaced the floor in the bathroom (the plywood, top layer), well it seems all of it except around the toiler which, after I thought I had a bad wax ring (had a leak), found out the floor is so rotted around the toilet, there is not enough material for the toilet flange to bolt to so the toilet is just sitting there.... (naturally, this is afterI removed the toilet flange, but it really wasnt doing much work as is, lol)
Now the floor, iv never done, but I can make it work. My problem is connecting into what will be the new PVC and toilet flange into the cast iron plumbing below. Currently a, thin metal pipe just dumps right into the cast iron plumbing from the toilet. Its smaller in diameter, so its not sealed. is just hovers in the cast iron, nice smell under the house.... :huh:
Thats my biggest question... How do I connect into that cast iron with new pvc???
Thanks for all the help. This house is really screwed up. ill say I added a trap to the bath tub today. its just as bad as this is. the tub has like 1 1/2" pvc going into a 2" pvc pipe just like pictured above. not sealed. going into the same type of black abs? like 4" id guess drain.... and whoever decided to run a 2" piece of pvc into a 4" drain decided using Masonary patch would be a awesome way of connecting them! :bangin: Can't make this stuff up.
