Dude said excavation. Hahahaha do a video of removing a house trap in wisconsin! Break 4×6 patch of concrete, dig 6-10 feet down, through either or all of gravel, clay, 100 year compressed dirt, and all soaked in s#!T water just to expose that ancient turd of a headache. And why replace with more cast iron? PVC?
"It's designed to tighten these bands up without over tightening"
4 hours later
"Ok now that they are tight.."
Whose watching in 2020
darn !! the guy know about his job !!
What was wrong with the old trap?
Nicely done, Richard!
If your using no hubs why not just use pvc on the replaced parts?
Rather than cut multiple sections of cast iron pipe and use multiple fernco coupling bands, why not just ave ABS or PVC in between with only two couplings to attach back to the original cast iron pipes? At least everything in between would absolute leak free (and yes, I realize these couplings are considered a permanent fix).
Why not just use abs pipe?
