Great work. I am trying to connect a 2" OD iron drain pipe to the p-trap pipe that will attach to a garbage disposal. My question is, if I buy a coupling tube, how much play can there be when the coupler attaches to the pipe? I am see ing about an 1/8" on either side of the couplers? Is that too much? Will the coupler squeeze enough so there won't be a leak? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Ай бұрын

Since comment is two years old, I’m assuming problem solved. For anyone searching for an answer, here’s what I learned. First, double check your pipe diameter calculation. I thought I needed 4.5 inch CI. Realized my circumference measurement was off causing overstated diameter. While my pipes were slightly larger than 4”, it was a nominal amount and the rubber sleeve fit fine. Other tip is to make sure to clean the outside of CI pipe. Sand away/remove any rust or grime from the coupler seating areas. Lastly make sure you use plenty support straps to keep your pipes in place. When you make your first cut through, any existing torque will be released. You don’t want your piping system bouncing around causing further cracking or torquing.

I'm an old man with old man hands, arthritis, etc. I use a nut driver, not a wrench, and tighten it up as snug as I can get it, then wait and do it again in 20 or so minutes after the rubber and the drive band get "cozy". For stuff that gets buried I prefer the couplings with the stainless steel shields, e.g. a Fernco Proflex. There is an 8mm t-handle torque wrench, or 5/16" depending on the brand of coupler, to use with these fittings, I just use a nut driver. If the fittings are hard to get on you can wet them or use a non-petroleum lube, O-ring lube for example. I am not a pro but have never had a fitting leak and have been doing my own DIY repairs 50 years.

Hmmmm....I have done exactly that twice to replace a 4" iron elbow. Both times the soil chemistry makes the flexible coupling extremely stiff so the stainless steel ring clamps are not applying friction. Then natural soil movements pull the repair apart.

@bigtridentguy

Ай бұрын

The shielded version of couplers solve for that. Instead of a rubber sleeve and two hose clamps alone, they also come with stainless steel “shields” that cover the rubber sleeve making it rigid. The added strength keeps your pipes aligned and doesn’t require a soil backfill. It also deters rodents from chewing up the rubber.

The fastest I've found is to use a grinder w/a continuous rim diamond blade. No shaking of the pipes upstream that might initiate a leak at the next hub, and..... it cuts fast! Also, less chance of unwanted shattering/breaking of the cast iron you are trying to keep. Absolute control with the diamond blade for a clean, straight, end-cut; if it's not perfect, the diamond blade can trim/grind the merest amount off to make it right. If necessary, and if you are unable to get to the backside of a pipe to make the cut, cut a section out on the front side big enough to get the grinder inside the pipe to continue cutting. Absolutely wear gloves, hearing and eye protection, and a respirator. I showed this trick to my plumber years ago- he'd never heard/seen it done this way; went out immediately afterwards to get some diamond blades...... lol. YMMV
