| Is there any violation with cutting an existing vertical copper drain line, and adding a female copper fitting to it, and then screwing a male PVC fitting into it, allowing me to use PVC for any repairs above the new connection?
I understand that you don't want to put copper threads into a female PVC fitting, but as long as I use PVC male threads into a copper female fitting, is this ok? Or, can a Fernco be used to make this connection, since it is just a drain line & not under pressure? Thanks in advance. |

| A Fernco would be a more common solution. |

| Thanks for quick reply. If the fitting is going to be inside the wall, is a Fernco still acceptable? Or is a Fernco something that has to be exposed and accessible? |
