Hello All,
Thank you so much to everyone here who have left some great advice for those of us with DIY Syndrome. I am in a situation similar to this thread, but also requiring an offset flange. Unfortunately, I cannot get a camera into the tiny crawlspace below to get a good picture. Following the advice already found on this forum, the plan is to cut the lead above the brass ferrule, use an offset PVC flange that goes inside a 4" pipe, and use the 4" PVC outside the pipe into a fernco connector on the brass ferrule.
My question is that the top of the brass ferrule where the lead bend meets the cast iron bell has a bump or ridge at the top. You can see this in every other picture of a lead bend on this forum. Should the ridge be cut off and the fernco connector placed on the straight part below it, or cut above the ridge and put the fernco connector around the ridge?
Thanks.
