Cracked pipe in wall

remmey · May 31, 2009

Hello, I have a cracked 2" drain pipe located in the bottom bathroom of my home. The house was bult in in 1964. Is there some sort of transition fitting I can use to go from (what I'm guessing is soil pipe?) to pvc in order to replace the cracked pipe? thank you

YES THERE IS;
IT'S CALLED A NO HUB COUPLING BY PRO FLEX

BUT THE PROBLEM I SEE IS IT TAKES GOOD PIPE TO SEAL,
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WILL HAVE TO BRAKE UP THE FLOOR AROUND THE PIPE AND CUT OUT THE CAST IRON HUB BELOW THAT PIECE OF PIPE IN ORDER TO GET A GOOD PIPE TO RECONNECT TO AND YES THE PROFLEX IS GOOD UNDER THE CONCRETE FLOOR,
WHEN YOU REPLACE THE FLOORING

Thank you for your quick reply.
It appears as though the crack in the pipe stops about 3/4" inch above the hub that comes up through the floor. Can I just remove the pipe from the hub and go from there?

I also notice you do Fire Sprinklers, I've been in the trade for 26 years myself, but know nothing about plumbing.

crack

Remove the pipe from the hub and then install the new one. I, and many plumbers, would insert a new piece of cast iron and go from there.

When I clicked the image it took me to a page that had a link "Click here to continue to your image" and when clicked there my popup blocker went nuts Did get to the image but with a few pron popups that snuck by.

Depending on what is above I would use some thing like this http://www.fernco.com/plumbing/donuts-o-rings/donuts

You have to make sure you get the one that works with your CI hub and PVC pipe. Took me 2 tries to find the right one locally for my stack.
