Funny, informative and straight to the point. Thank you.

Alot easy way is to just use a rubber mallet, been doing it for over 20 years never had an issue , I'm a self-employed licensed master plumber in 3 states and the easiest way is to use plumbers grease or dawn dishwashing liquid and a rubber mallet, saves time and you have more control

Shalom Aleichem! Just found your channel brother! Life long jewish carpenter here. I just bought a house in eastern Ohio built in 1918. The home has been vacant 33 years. The plumbing and electrical is all original. I begin the rehab of the house in 2 weeks. Thanks for posting this video!

Excellent video. I've got to replace a Copper main waste line in my house that is starting to leak and this answered my questions regarding how to tie into the cast hub. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. The name of your channel cracked me up, by the way.

0:08 That has got to be the most clever channel name I have ever seen! XD At least, I know what to expect when installing one.

Thank you for posting this! Im replacing old 4” cast to pvc this Saturday. Much appreciated!

Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.

I started plumbing just a few years ago mostly doing new residential homes so no real cast iron experience. I'd like to pour a lead and oakum fitting in at least once. I like all of your tips! Lots to learn in this trade!

I can’t believe you were using PVC glue as a lubricant and a diamond wheel to shave the PVC. Just wow dude.

Exactly what I needed to see.

Thanks for the tip! I was having a hard time getting the 4in into the donut even with soap. I did one years ago but couldn't remember. My main thing is hvac but I get a few plumbing calls. Once i busted out the grinder and beveled the edges of the pvc she went right in with a few taps. Thanks

Very good info sir 👍 appreciate your day to day hard work and teaching us new guys how its done.

Thank you so much for sharing your job experiences! Very helpful to the DIY'er..

Thanks for the video. Did not know they made those gaskets. 👍🏼👍🏼

Good video. I have one suggestion. Prior to putting the gasket in the cast iron, put the pvc pipe in the gasket all the way. Make a mark or use tape on the pvc at where you want the pvc to finish. Then remove the PVC from the gasket and proceed as usual. Takes the guesswork out as to whether it is in properly. Also liquid hand soap is a good lubricant.

Good job ! That's what real plumber looks like in the field. Plumbing is a heavy, physically demanding, dirty work. Be aware of KZfaq plumbers in neon shirts and brand new tools with minimal experience. They misrepresent the trade

I came across a " old plumbers trick". After you bevel the end of the pvc you cut a small notch ( 3/4" x 1/2"). This lessons the diameter enough to ease the pipe in. It works great. Great channel by the way 👍

If I have a difficult gasket to install I put it in boiling water for a few minutes. Lube up the pipe with dish soap. fish out the gasket with a wood stick drop it in the hub and then put the lubed up pipe in. If you work fast it goes in easy

Flap disc works really nice for beveling PVC.

A little soap is the key to helping the pvc slide in easy

finally found the video to help me. thank you so much.

thanks for the class!

Thanks so much. I beveled the end and put a piece of 2x4 on top and banged it in with a little lube. Big help, thanks again

Best video on this ever!

Shalom ! You're the man ! Toda raba ! B'rachot !

Super helpful video - thanks for that! I have basically this setup in my house with a big 4” cast iron wye embedded in the basement floor and I’m looking to replace everything above that with PVC. I even have basement laundry (like you mention in the video) and as such need to tee off as close as possible to the fitting in the floor… …which leads to a question: can I plug a 4x4x2 street santee directly into the rubber gasket? Or does it have to be pipe or that reducer fitting you showed? Just looking at options to get the laundry drain as low as possible. Should note that I don’t have the fittings/gasket in hand yet it’s possible the street wouldn’t even fully seat but figured I’d ask.

Even sanding up the pipe a bit seems to help prevent hydraulic lift until it finally sits

Mikey Plumbs making it happen!

In my case, I was able to use a clamp (twist to tighten type) to get the ABS pipe inserted. It helps if you put a cap on the pipe as it provides the clamp with surface area while protecting the pipe wall.

Verrrey nice 👍🏼

I bought an older house and it has the same setup you were working on and it didn't have a gasket so everytime someone flushed the toliet it would leak. I'm going to be doing it the way you did but was wondering do you have a link to the 4in rubber gasket you used so i know i got the right one?

How does the pre made beveled pvc stay inside the gasket? Seems like it would be loose. Do you need to glue it?

So just spit on it. Got it! 🤣 Nice work bro

I need to replace my 4 inch tee with a clean out on it. Only thing is the pipe going to the outside exits the house about 5 ft. up the wall horizontally not through the floor vertically. This seems like the right method but fear that getting the new sdr fitting/gasket pushed into place could be a bit challenging.

If your in Illinois you cannot use push gaskets a above ground. You'd need to use oakum/lead or no hub couplings.

same idea with the horizontal tie in ? that's what I am trying to figure out, the previous "best man" I had working on it, is long gone and this ABS to cast iron joint wiggles ! WTH, surely it will leak once we start using it, right ? thanks for this video

Great Vid. I learned a lot. I have to scab a piece of PVC on cast iron wastewater, would this method work for that? Thanks ! (and the insert vids were hilarious !)

Laughed my ass off. Well done video

nce job. I am an accountant but it is nice to know.

today's the day... but with 3". Ordered the fernco. missed that part about PVC adapter. Thanks !

To help to get the pvc pipe in the hole use silicone spray.

Question. I want to do something simmular but above the 3" PVC peice I'm putting in it will go back to the vertical 4" cast which runs through 2 floors and out the roof (its very heavy) How can I support all that cast above to make my PVC splice?

Can you use that gasket on the horizontal run as well or will it leak compared to the vertical gravity fed vent. I have something very similar to work on and my run is horizontal.

Just did this...I'm not an engineer or a plumber, but...fernco needs to redesign these things. It shouldn't take a 6 foot bar to install a pvc pipe. This is for household drains and sewers, after all...not rocket fuel!

Hey thanks for the video, what is the name of that gasket if I go to a plumbing supply house?

No, don't cut off ribs, use dawn dish soap to slide it it. It is water salable and washes off.

Man. That Philly accent is soooo strong🤣

What if you want to replace a 3' section of cast in the basement but don't want to replace the whole stack above it? Will pve hold the weight of cast?

can i get a part number or name for that sdr push gasket by 4inch pvc adapter

Rubber gasket, Bevel the end, apply slick'em, 2x6 block, 3lb hammer

Now you DIYers know why plumbers don’t bite their nails or now you should know.

Had to do this the other day 4' in a slab on a rough in... cut a short piece right before the hub for a mission band but the cast was just too thin on the bottom😭

what is the brand / model number of the 4 inch gasket that you are using. thanks

What's that fitting called?

I did that once , with okem and pc 4 .

So many "that's what she said" lines in this one!!!!

Awesome video I’m definitely subscribing that sex lube part was damn hilarious 😂

Gotta use ya more of that joy jelly. The ole camel snot.. the veener shliden.. grammas bacon grease.. the ole gooch sweat.. the n y jelly.. german cough syrup..

What is the name of the manufactured PVC piece you purchased that was made to fit into the soil gasket? I have a situation where I can't use much force to insert the PVC pipe.

Wife said no expensive stuff😅

Bro using that grinder with no guard next to his leg :0o

Duck butter every time.

Sex lube on his pipe fittings? You better check that rating🤣

My cast iron is 5 inch od and all they have is 4 inch.

Isn't this why Fernco connectors are made?

They make a lubricant just for this application. Don't use PVC glue, is bad on the rubber boot.

Will this method work under ground?

I have about an old lead toilet pipe that broke and has about 3 inches of lead still connected to the iron stack hub tie in. Would it be smarter to remove the lead and connect as you have shown or shove the CPVC inside the remaining lead and clamp it with the wrap around coupling? By the way this is an upstairs toilet so it's above my head (so I'll have limited leverage)

You gotta be from baltimore

“gæs’kit”

From the mechanic to the plumber .....just lube it.

They make push gaskets for pvc to cast transition. It makes it so much easier.

I don’t not know the rules. where you’re working but here where I am you’re not allowed to use PVC above Ground only ABS

On second thought I'd fire you

First day plumbing. I see, that's not how it's done

Men with beers = Hebrews? 😅😂

Jews with Screws. Ha ha I love it

Ghaahsket

I guarantee you, you did this without a permit because if an inspector would have seen you using a gasket to transition from cast to PVC he would have made you pull it out you're suppose to lead in a soil adapter uof course unless you're not in the United States

OwO

You identified yourself ad a jew not a plumero, so pls stop the Genocide.

And if yer not skilled enough or have no patience lead wool will work too

Dude use teflon dope To lube. Never needed a pry bar. Cant use petrolem product. It will eat the rubber.

This guy's got no idea what he's doing...
