Can you cut into cast iron soil pipe with plastic soil pipe?
You can put up to a 2 inch pipe into a 4 inch. If you are putting 4 inch to 4 inch, either take out a section of the cast and put the PVC in or cut out a section and connect the PVC to the cast with rubber sleeves meant for this. You can use a saddle clamp for the 2 inch. It is a half round piece of PVC with a 2 inch connection in it. It is held on with two U bolts that go around the cast pipe. Put it where you need it and mark the 2 inch hole on the cast. Drill a series of 1/8 inch holes around this circle. when you get them all drilled, you can break out the plug. Try to keep it from falling into the cast pipe. Put the saddle clamp on and connect the PVC pipe as needed. Seal the saddle clamp to the cast pipe with plumbers putty.

Is no hub cast iron pipe the same as service weight cast iron pipe?
No-hub cast iron pipe is the same as hubless cast iron pipe. Both are terms used to identify a type of grey iron pipe that is manufactured for use in DWV and storm drainage applications. The terms "no-hub" or "hubless" refers to the pipes end. In contrast to "service weight" pipe, no - hub has no hub on the end and is joined using a no-hub coupling comprised of a 316 stainless steel shield with worm gears and a neoprene gasket. No hub pipe is manufactured to meet ASTM A 888 and CISPI (Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute) 301 standards. To verify compliance you should use no - hub pipe and fittings bearing the NSF-upc (National Sanitation Foundation) mark.
Can you connect PVC pipe to cast iron pipe?
Yes, it is possible. Unfortunatly, if you have a cast iron riser, you will have to chip out the concrete to get low enough to cut the riser to install a Clamp-all and a piece of PVC pipe. This might not be possible if you have a short riser. Then you would have to cut the cast iron behind the 90 degree turn. Either way, it's a pain in the butt. Call a plumber. It will be worth it.
