Okay, I appreitiate all the feedback, and look forward to more feedback to help me learn. I have finally revised some of the sewer. I am including a link to my new revised photo bucket sewer album. I did away with all the iron and have new pvc coming through the wall. I revised the main stack to include a cleanout. I do have a couple other modifications to make. I plan on removing the cleanout T and replacing it with a 4" Y and then a 4" 45 degree bend to go up to the toilet. Otherwise this stack should be about done. There are no leaks at all. Please give me your feedback and input. Here is the link. Thanks! http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/D ... nts/Sewer/

Very good question. Actually it was just sitting in the cast iron until I figured out what to do with it. I decided to change the pipe coming through the wall with PVC as well.

I appreciate your feedback. What are ells? I guess I lack the knowledge of parts that are available to me. A friend of the family who does HVAC and plumbing is coming over today to take a look at my work and assist me. I am still interested in hearing more feedback. It is a learning experience to me. Also what do you mean about the cleanout on it's side? I pretty much copied the old setup of cast iron, except replaced with PVC. Actually the old cast iron had two tees and i decided to use one tee and one Y. My old sink and bathtub was so bad. It would drain very slow, and the copper pipe was small, and it was sloping towards the sink and tub rather than sloping downhill towards the sewer stack. Also I am finishing my whole basement, and did not want the pipes hanging accross the ceiling since my ceiling down there is already not that high (Like 8 feet tops.) I have absolutely no leaks now, and the drains work beautifully. Please continue to educate me. Thanks again.

Hello All. I am new here. I am in need of some professional opinions. I am a DIY home owner. I am also very mechanically inclined. I fix my own cars, to include Major engine repairs, transmissions, computers, and anything to do with my house. I am in the process of finishing my basement, and since my house is almost 90 years old, I felt it was nessessary to rip out the old cast iron sewage and upgrade it to PVC. My bath tub and bathroom sink had poor drainage and drained very slow to begin with. Also piping was run strait across the ceiling in my basement which was interfering with me putting drywall up on the ceiling and walls. I completely ripped out all copper and cast iron sewage and put in Sqedule 40 solid core PVC. So far, drainage for my sinl, bath tub, and toilet are GREAT with my new setup, and I have absolutely no leaks. I reconfigured my sink's sewage line so it could be concieled in the ceiling and wall. I am including a link to my pics, so I ask all professional experienced plumbers to take a look at my pics and see if everything looks okay, and if I need to fix anything else to be within code. Everything done in these pics was completely done by me and me alone. Please tell me how I did. Thank you in advance. Scott http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/Darkman5001/
