    You use a Duel-Tite Gasket,(see image). First clear and clean the cast iron hub. Then insert a Duel-Tite Gasket, (see image) in the hub. Next take the piece of plastic pipe that you wish to convert to and file and bevel the sharp edges so it will slip into the gasket.
    Next you will need Duel-Tite Lubricant to make the pipe slde in without friction. Apply the lubricant to both the pipe and the gasket. Now force the pipe into the gasket, KEEP IT SQUARE, do not cock it.
    If you have a problem getting it started it's acceptable to take a razor knife and shave down the first few rows of ridges. You have just converted from cast iron to plastic. Good luck, Tom
