What's the best way of connecting 110mm plastic to a cast iron tee after removing the lead? Is it to just clear out the flange on the tee insert the 110mm pvc. Then rope and plumbers mate or silicone?
 
Depends on the internal size sometimes you can get a black drain connector in
 
Thanks yes I have used the drain connectors before to go in to cast iron pipe but never a cast iron flange/fitting. I will have a look. Q

normal way would rope packed in and cemented over/ infill

I had this problem a few years ago. I managed to find a fitting that worked like a pan connector. Bellows end went down inside old cast iron stump. Then new plastic 110 slotted into the silicone rubber-ring sealed end. I laid silicone sealant around the plastic end but.... it didnā€™t take to the flexible seal too well. Was worried I might get some smell but 4 yrs on and daily use I have no problems. If yr interested Iā€™ll search the part out but imo it was basically the same as a straight pan connector only black plastic

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
