Can you fix a cast iron pipe with PVC pipe?
Cast Iron pipe can SOMETIMES be fixed by coupling it to the pipe using a rubber coupling and worm clamps. This rubber coupling is sometimes referred to as a "rubber boot". You should always check your local plumbing code first to see if what and where you are replacing can be remedied by this method. You would first need to cut the cast iron pipe section out which you want replaced. There are a few different devices and blades made to achieve this depending on what tools you have access to. The most basic can be found at your local home improvement center or plumbing supply house such as a reciprocating saw blade meant for cast iron. Once the section of pipe is out, you should be able to maneuver the boot or boots and pipe into place and tighten the clamps to fit snugly around the cast iron and PVC. The days of oakum and leading cast iron pipes is long gone :)
