Replacing cast iron drain pipe with PVC involves a few key steps. Firstly, ensure the work area is safe and water supply is shut off if relevant. Using a snap cutter or reciprocating saw, carefully cut the cast iron pipe at the designated sections. Be mindful of sharp edges. After removal, prepare the PVC pipe for installation by measuring and cutting it to fit the gap left by the old pipe. Use a no-hub coupling to connect the PVC pipe to the existing cast iron pipe; these couplings are designed for transitioning between different pipe materials and ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. Apply PVC primer and cement on the connections as directed to solidify the bond. Lastly, check for leaks and ensure the installation conforms to local plumbing codes. This process not only modernizes the plumbing system but also reduces the risk of future leaks and blockages due to the smoother interior of PVC pipes.
