wtf this guy is a god he makes it look so easy why did my plumbing company estimate my replacement to be 10,000 wtffff

smart guy- especially like the warnings about weight of pipe, possible tile cracking, etc. This has given me the confidence to piece-meal replacement of some of my cast iron (Fernco good) with the ultimate goal of going full ABS

You never realize how heavy cast iron pipe is until you pick up a piece! Good luck with your project and happy plumbing!

Great video. I need to replace a bunch of leaking iron in my townhouse garage. I like the ideal of using ABS. Someone took care of 2 neighbors and it was $2000 with new iron. I'm going to go the abs route.

ABS is a great material, but if your pipe goes through the garage firewall then that section must be metal. For example, if there is a garage sink, then you could install ABS pipe, then transition to steel just for the section through the wall.

Awesome!!! Now def am thinking about trying to diy replace my final section of cast iron piping...

It's pretty easy! The hardest part is cutting the pipe, you'll need a powerful Sawzall and special blades. Installing ABS and PVC is straight forward and forgiving. Ram bits let you take apart a joint if you make a mistake.

this helps out a bunch man thanks

Really neat thanks.

Thanks

Thank you for this, I am about to DIY this and some added info is always welcome.

This guy knows he could of undone the mJ band right

Yes, I am aware that MJ fittings can be taken apart.

Just use a thin wheel grinder to cut the pipe

I prefer diamond wheels.. super smooth cut without all the debris from the metal cutting disc

Offset closet flanges should be avoided at all cost. They don’t allow the toilet to flush properly and will inevitably cause issues

It has been over three years and I have had zero issues.

its a law that ferncos must be outside of the house and at least one foot buried under ground, I would not recommend using a fernco like this because after a while they tend to fail

In my area Fernco fittings can be underground but shielded fernco is required if it's buried deep. They're also allowed above ground. Check your local code before starting any project.
