The lead pipe that connects to toilet flange is cracked .this is connected to a two and a half copper pipe comeing from the t for the drain .I am trying to convert flange to pvc ,is it possible to connect 2 and a half inch copper to 3 inch pvc ? I was in home depot and they had that rubber clamp but only to go from 3inch to 3 .I already cut out the old flange with saws all through copper pipe .they didn't have the lead type either .any suggestions on either type of fix is appreciated.
Thanks steve

Hi Steve,

If that is a toilet pipe then that 2.5" copper pipe should actually be 3" copper. 3" copper is much smaller than 3" PVC...

If this is the case, then you will need a 3" copper x 3" PVC shielded transition clamp to make the connection (see image). Sometimes you can find these at home depot or Lowe's, but you can always find them at your local plumbing supply store.

Finally, even if that copper pipe is 2.5" (it isn't.. :p) they should still have the correct transition clamp at a local plumbing supply store.

Let me know if you have more questions here...
