How can I connect a pvc pipe to a cast iron bell? What type of adhesive should be used?
We don't often have to connect PVC To a cast iron bell. We mostly connect a cast iron male end to a PVC male end using a NO-Hub Band or a Fernco Neoprene Coupling.Quote:

While we prefer pouring the joint, lead wool would be much easier and safer then hot lead for a homeowner but you'll still have to yarn in the oakum and pack and caulk the lead wool. Cheers, Tom
