Is it possible to connect my

RE: PVC TO GI COMBINATION
However, the fact that I think some pvc "adapters/ors" are basically intended for simple low/no pressure cleanouts etc., your "bushing" with a smaller tapped hole in same may be some unsettling, as I believe female-threaded pvc items are notoriously weak and prone to cracking/leaking from healthy torque/assembly on to begin with, let alone subsequent bending load and impacts from say a galvanized pipe? eventually threaded into same!
RE: PVC TO GI COMBINATION
I had already attached the bushing and the adapter (the female part of a pvc plug). It only went for about a quarter of an inch. Then afterwards I just put sealant.
BTW: im using this kind of fitting for my homemade hydraulic ram. This fitting is seen on the pressure chamber.
