Is there a thought process or plan you guys use to connect pipe? I recently had a cast iron main sewer line crack and I am replacing it with PVC Schedule 40. The cast iron pipe was attached with metal bands and it was easy to remove. I am starting with a Fernco attached to the pipe coming in from under the footing of the house. This pipe is at about 45 degrees. The other side of the line is about seven feet away and about three feet higher than footing entrance, and is flat on the ground. It is also about two feet to the right of the pipe under the footing.
So I have about a seven foot piece of schedule 40 coming up at about 45 degrees and trying to connect to a pipe lying flat on the ground and about two feet laterally over. I know you can’t’ tell me exactly what to use here, but I would like to know how you approach these problems. Do you just use 45s, 90s, and 22s till you come up with something? There must be a disciplined strategy that won’t take me two hours by trial and error while I sit in this smelly crawl space. Thank you for any recommendations.
