How to Connect Clay Pipe to PVC

In this video, I am connecting terracotta clay pipe to pvc pipe. Both of the pipes are 3 inch, but the clay pipe has a 0.5 inch wall thickness vs the pvc wall thickness of 0.25 inch. A 3 inch clay to 3 inch pvc coupler steps from 3.5 inches to 4 inches. The coupler that I used was a fernco P1059-33 (amzn.to/2J1daLk). You could also use a no hub coupler for an underground or over ground application like this.

For under slab, 'No-Hub' stainless sleeved couplers is what is required by code, all over Canada and the USA. The coupler you used is not meant for below slab. It should only be used in above ground, unfinished areas that are easily accessible.

Yes a shielded fernco! Minimum 4inch under ground

The size of my terra-cotta is 4 inches that I will connect to 4 inches pvc pipe do they have those size for rubber boots

[@CoolStuffGuysLike]

Is it 4 inches on the inside diameter or th outside diameter? A 4 inch Terra Cotta pipe should have a 5 inch outside diameter. There is a 4 inch clay to 4 inch PVC available on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0009VUOTW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_JAz8DbA3R9079 . You can look around and search 4 inch clay to 3.5 or 3 inch PVC also if you want a smaller trap. I have a link in the description for a 3 inch clay to 3 inch PVC, which is 4 inches to 3.5 inches actual coupler dimensions.

Why having a P-trap main pipe since the toilet, sink, shower will have p-trap also?

[@ryanknuth6915]

Every house should have a “house trap” (minimum 4inch) on the building drain. It helps sewer gas from getting in your house

[@leonmorris5602]

Also should be lowest cut riser in drain so if drain blocks up it come out of the trap instead of your floor trap in shower or something, it should be outside u der a tap search up org overflow relief gully

are those clay pipe called orangeburg sewer pipes?

[@capoBon]

No they are not the same material

[@adnaanahmed3863]

Is there a way of connecting internally, instead of rubber pipe connecting from outside, can it be connected inside. The pipe i need to connect is under a brick wall and would be impossible to connect the rubber connection over as i would need to remove bricks

[@RoyArrowood]

If you connect it internally that would reduce the capacity of the pipe I would think. I'm no plumber but it sounds to me like you may want to call one

[@sakiloki4618]

what is the normal size for clay pipe, its bigger then 4 inch

[@ryanknuth6915]

6 inch

[@leec8573]

What did you use to cut the clay pipe

[@rosavito1]

I have the same question. did you figure that out?

[@leec8573]

@@rosavito1I got a diamond blade from Home Depot. In expensive

[@mytravelvlog4593]

Nice videos, where can you buy those rubber boots

[@johnnyramirez1958]

[@gregramos6798]

what the heck . remove that freaking total house trap-all, each fixture in your house already has traps..out-dated plumbing

[@CoolStuffGuysLike]

This is for a floor drain, so it needs a trap since I don't have a whole house trap. The whole reason I could tell my trap had failed was because I could smell sewer gas in the basement.

[@JSLEnterprises]

@@CoolStuffGuysLike Your floor drain shouldn't connect to the 'poop' sewer. The floor drain should only connect to your weeping tile drainage system (considering its clay and you dont have a sump pump, its probably also tied directly into the cities storm sewer)

[@SpringIsBACK]

@@JSLEnterprises Plenty of places, like mine, don't have storm sewers - they just have ditches for rainwater. If in a flat area, the floor drain can only go one place...

[@user-kj6jm1yq4d]

Usually, floor drains go to the city sewer not the storm sewer.
