Underground CISP tie-in

Underground CISP tie-in

Underground CISP tie-in

(OP)
Anyone know the best way to tie into existing underground 4" extra heavy (XH) CISP, hub and spigot type gravity sanitary piping?  I want to put in a new floor drain and tie in with a 4" wye (or 4 x 3) but I can't think of how you'd get the fitting in.

If you cut the right length of section out, I could go with the hubless (no-hub) with the shielded couplings, but I want to maintain the XH pipe and I think the hubless only comes in service weight (SV).

On line I saw a promising 4" "tap saddle wye" by Fernco, but then I discovered in the plumbing code that "saddle type fittings" are one of several "Prohibited Joints".

I also haven't seen any "slip joint" specialties and even these per the code are limited to trap outlets, trap inlets and within the trap seal for drainage.

RE: Underground CISP tie-in

I think if you insist on the x heavy pipe, you will have to use x heavy hub & spigot piping to make the connection.

Per Charlotte Pipe & Foundry, no hub pipe is not even service weight, but has its own classification.  They would not tell me what.

Best place for information on cast iron pipe is the cast iron pipe institute

http://www.cispi.org

Lots of good information.
