I've got an old house (~1930) and am redoing the bathroom. There is a lead closet bend connecting to cast iron. I want to replace the lead with plastic, by removing the lead and using a fernco donut to attach the new 4" plastic to the cast iron (the hub of the cast iron is visible at the left in the photo below. But the lead pipe is quite close to the floor level. I don't think there is enough room to put a section of 4" pipe and a 90 degree bend, and not have the bend end above the floor level. Any suggestions for how to do this?
Also, the 2" line to the sink has a shallow angle between two of the cast iron pieces. In the photo below, you can see that the angle of the left-most cast iron segment is different from the others. I want to remove the cast iron back to the left-most segment, and then put in plastic from that left-most hub. Will the plastic and donut be able to handle this shallow bend?
