Depending on what kind of leak you have, sometimes ferncos will fix pipe leaks but if its a fitting leak and on a nohub fitting then just replace the nohub bands and fittings but if its on a lead bell/spigot fitting then you most likely will have to change the whole fitting or fittings if they are close connected and change the to PVC or abs fittings and make sure you have supports if you are changing any vertical lines.
"FERNCO" is barred from the better codes and most professional installer will never allow their use
Ductile normally has a higher pressure rating then "service weight" or No Hub CI
Your best repair would ber na Mechanical joint or Mission coupling or a extra strong no hub coupling.
A semi skilled welder can also do a decent job welding cast iton
Nothing BUT ductile is much stronger
Ductile Iron Pipes
To effectively repair a copper pipe leak, you can follow these steps: Turn off the water supply to the pipe. Clean the area around the leak with sandpaper.

Place the clamp or sleeve over the leak and tighten it securely. Turn the water supply back on and check for any remaining leaks.
Ductile iron pipe is a type of pipe made from ductile iron, which is known for its strength, durability, and flexibility. This material is specifically designed to withstand high pressure and is often used in water and wastewater systems. Ductile iron pipes are resistant to corrosion and can handle various environmental conditions, making them a reliable choice for infrastructure projects. Their ductility allows them to absorb impacts and stresses without breaking, enhancing their longevity.

To repair a PVC pipe leak at a joint, you can use a PVC pipe repair coupling or a PVC pipe repair epoxy. First, turn off the water supply to the pipe. Then, clean and dry the area around the leak. Apply the repair coupling or epoxy according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow it to cure before turning the water supply back on.
To effectively repair a PVC pipe leak, you can use a PVC pipe repair kit or epoxy putty to seal the leak. First, turn off the water supply to the pipe. Clean and dry the area around the leak, then apply the repair material according to the kit's instructions. Allow it to cure before turning the water back on to check for leaks.
