Why not just use cast iron ? It's not that horribly expensive compared to
the hassle of trying to reliably join PVC to cast iron. And no leading is
required below grade nowadays - at least not here in the northeast part of
the Peoples Republic of Illinois, where the unions make sure we have some
pretty tight codes. You just put in a rubber insert and lubricant, and pop
the fitting together.
