I'm remodeling a basement bathroom. When I took out the old tile shower, I found out that it was connected to a cast iron floor drain with an iron pipe glued to a 1 1/2 PVC pipe glued to a 2" PVC pipe. The only thing supporting the drain pipe to the floor drain was a little morter. I need to remove the old cast iron floor drain so I can install a 2" PVC trap and relocate the drain for a new shower. I removed the basement concrete around the old cast iron floor drain and found where it is connected to the 2" cast iron pipe. The floor drain is connected to the pipe with a rubber compression gasket. what is the best way to remove the floor drain and rubber gasket from the main pipe? What should I use to connect the cast iron pipe to a new 2" PVC pipe? Also, do I need to use a special PVC pipe for "under the slab" installation or will Sch 40 PVC work? Thanks in advance!!
