mateing a 4" soil drain to PVC

i Have a 4" cast iron soil pipe. the pipe is out of the fitting due to leaking thru the lead solder, i had removed all of the bad pipe and the solder in the female side, is there a way to mate a 4" PVC pipe to the 4" cast iron fitting, someone told me to stick the 4" pipe into the fitting and use hyd cement to hold the pipe into place, there has to be a better way.

Use a no-hub coupling between the 4" straight pipe ends of the cast iron and PVC pipe.
A no-hub (aka "Mission") coupling has a rigid stainless steel band over a neoprene rubber sleeve with torque clamps to seal it.
Good luck!

If you have a hub, and you want to come out of that hub with pvc...I think that they make a rubber dougnut designed specifically for that. You need to clean out all of the lead and oakum first, or it won't fit. The mission coupling works great if you have cut the pipe and want to convert to pvc, but (I don't think) it would work from a hub to a new pipe.

They make a type of cement as well as a rubber doughnut to fit pvc into a cast iron hub. However, I find it is way easier to snap the hub off and use the no hub coupler on the two straight ends.
