If the copper is big enough, you can treat it as if it were cast and use packing and sealant. If the diameters are too different, you can use a rubber coupling to connect the two.
When I have to connect copper to lead "D" I usually solder the copper to the lead or wipe a lead joint depending on the diameter To connect copper to cast iron ,.... If there is a hub I caulk the copper directly into the CI with oakum and poured lead (molten) OR one can solder / braze a female adapter fitting and screw the copper into a CI female fitting

Cast iron holds heat longer compared to glass, copper, stainless steel.
You don't, you remove the plastic junk and replace the toxic plasatic with cast iron
For supply, it is copper and galvanized iron. For waste, ABS (plastic) or cast iron.
The word equation for the reaction between iron sulfate and copper is: iron sulfate + copper → copper sulfate + iron.
Will that work to eat up the Zinc(anode) instead the iron pipe ?Will the copper lead the ions to the zinc, or its resistivity will jeopardize the sacrificial protection combination ?thank you
Yes, copper can displace iron from iron oxide through a displacement reaction where copper will replace iron in the compound. This reaction will form copper oxide and free iron.
Iron is more reactive than copper, so when iron is added to copper sulfate solution, iron displaces copper in the reaction and forms iron sulfate. This process is known as a displacement reaction. This allows copper to be extracted from copper sulfate solution using iron.
The iron will displace the copper as it is more reactive. here's the equation: iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate +copper
To connect PVC to cast iron pipes, you can use a rubber coupling with stainless steel clamps. Make sure the pipes are clean and dry before attaching the coupling. Tighten the clamps securely to create a watertight seal between the PVC and cast iron pipes.
Yes, a reaction will occur when copper is heated with iron oxide. The iron in iron oxide will react with the copper to form copper oxide and iron.
