Connecting Galvanized and PVC Drain Pipes Simply cut the pipe with a hacksaw, making as straight a cut as possible, then fit a Fernco flexible connector with the appropriate diameter over the end and tighten it down. ... Insert the PVC pipe into the other end, tighten the clamp, and you're done.
Can you connect PVC to metal pipe?
We link the PVC to metal components using threaded connections. The plastic male threads link to a female thread on the metal pipe. ... As the threads meld at the connection point, the mail fitting compresses as the female fitting expands. This produces a tight, robust joint that will not leak.Aug 24, 2020
Can you connect galvanized pipe to CPVC?

The two pipes have vastly different outside diameters. There are few if any compression style pipe couplings on the market to join galvanized and C{VC pipe.
Can you use PVC compression fitting on galvanized pipe?
Sounds like the solution, but just to be clear I would be able to get one of these on a non-threaded iron galvanized pipe that's just been cut? Yep, anything that is 5/8" or 7/8" OD. PVC is not CTS (copper tubing size=larger OD) so the QEST compression fittings will not go on it.

We place the clamp on the galvanized pipe, insert the new PVC pipe and tighten the clamps on both ends. To ensure that the seal remains watertight, our plumbers put silicon sealant on the galvanized metal before installing the connector. Since the PVC pipe will remain smooth, there's no need for a sealant on that end.Aug 24, 2020

Can you attach PVC pipe to metal pipe?
A: You can't glue PVC pipe directly to metal pipe of any type. PVC cement creates a solvent bond with plastic only, and doesn't adhere to metal. If your code allows it, the pipe can be inserted into a rubber seal that fits inside the hub, then sealed in place with a sealant specifically made for this application.Oct 10, 2014
