Can you cut into cast iron soil pipe with plastic soil pipe?

You can put up to a 2 inch pipe into a 4 inch. If you are putting 4 inch to 4 inch, either take out a section of the cast and put the PVC in or cut out a section and connect the PVC to the cast with rubber sleeves meant for this. You can use a saddle clamp for the 2 inch. It is a half round piece of PVC with a 2 inch connection in it. It is held on with two U bolts that go around the cast pipe. Put it where you need it and mark the 2 inch hole on the cast. Drill a series of 1/8 inch holes around this circle. when you get them all drilled, you can break out the plug. Try to keep it from falling into the cast pipe. Put the saddle clamp on and connect the PVC pipe as needed. Seal the saddle clamp to the cast pipe with plumbers putty.

To connect PVC pipe to PEX, you'll need a few specific fittings. Start by using a PVC to PEX adapter, which usually has a female threaded end for the PVC and a barbed end for the PEX. First, glue the PVC adapter onto the PVC pipe using PVC cement, then slide a PEX clamp ring over the PEX pipe, insert the PEX into the barbed end of the adapter, and secure it with a crimp or clamp fitting. Make sure to follow all manufacturer instructions for a secure and leak-free connection.

Can you connect PVC pipe to cast iron pipe?

Yes, it is possible. Unfortunatly, if you have a cast iron riser, you will have to chip out the concrete to get low enough to cut the riser to install a Clamp-all and a piece of PVC pipe. This might not be possible if you have a short riser. Then you would have to cut the cast iron behind the 90 degree turn. Either way, it's a pain in the butt. Call a plumber. It will be worth it.
