Oz07 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Apart from flex seals / couplers is there a better looking fitting for connecting cast to PVC then back to cast. Something like a multiquick i I have to interrupt a cast iron stench pipe with a PVC 90 branch so would need 2 different fittings presumably. One to take PVC in female and one to take cast in female.

PeterW Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Brett Martin do a cast iron look range - the downside will be the tee will not look the same as proper cast but will be similar. You can buy cast fittings still and they aren't as expensive as you think but cutting cast pipes can be a bugger ..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Oh no I don't mind putting a plastic branch in. It's just that the punters might think the band seals look a bit temporary. Specifically on about the fittings to join the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look a lot neater than band seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It'll go into cast and leave PVC out the top, but I'm not sure of it'll do the other combination. Why are you going back to cast? Just renew the vent in PVC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's not just a vent there's bends and connections above. Ill see if they're bothered about having a flex seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Whether that fitting could be used upside down or would it be asking for trouble. If they're made to be water tight and stand a pressure test no reason they couldn't be used upside down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 There would be a significant 'shoulder' if you used that upside down. Its a no I'm afraid . I genuine can't think of a job ive ever done like this, without using a sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeh I though of another problem aswell. You couldn't use one either end as you'd be working between two fixed points. So it's either one of those on bottom and sleeve on top, or replace the lot. I'll have a look today see what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 PVC is cheap enough tbh, and if this is in sight I'd rather it looked consistent if it were me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
