    Joining cast iron pipe to abs pipes for kitchen sink
    I am trying to replace the faucet in the kitchen.
    The existing pipes are cast iron pipes - very old - I would like to partially replace them with abs pipes. I will need to cut the cast iron and join the cast iron and the abs pipes.
    How would I do that.

    You do that with a shielded coupling, (see image) in the correct size. Good luck, Tom
