Just wanted to say Hi and yes I'm a newbie to this website. I've been reading different threads before posting to try and keep my questions to a minimal as I'm sure they are basic and everyone except me knows the answer! I'm replacing the drain below the slab in a shower and I have the cast iron pipe cut and ready to re install ABS.
1. Which one or either should I use to connect the CI to ABS? the CI measured closer to 2.5" OD so not sure if I will be able to make the 2"-2" work. If neither of these are the type I need what would be a better option? pic 2
2. I was told I could use the dirt on the right with minimal rocks to back fill the hole but didn't know if I could reuse the pile on left with more rocks? I have three buckets of similar consistency dirt on the right but will need another if the pile on the left doesn't work. I can pour the other buckets into my proper blue storage container if that will help? pic 4
3.If I need extra refill would sand be acceptable or should I purchase it from a box store?
thanks in advance for any advise and if my explanations don't make any logical meaning I will try to explain again!
