Abstract: Apparatus for installing or replacing pipe which extends between a toilet and a ferrule structure projecting from a soil stack couples a discharge pipe to the ferrule structure with a compressible sleeve which extends over facing ends of the discharge pipe and ferrule. Ring clamps compress and seal the sleeve to the discharge pipe and ferrule structure. Ears project from a flange attached to one end of the discharge pipe at a floor which supports the toilet for supporting the discharge pipe from the floor.

Abstract: A plumbing connector and a method for installing or replacing pipe which extends between a toilet and a ferrule utilize a pair of sleeves arranged coaxially so as to form an annular socket for receiving one end of the ferrule. The inner sleeve is adapted for permanent connection to the pipe.

Abstract: A nipple which may be inserted into one pipe for attaching another pipe intermediate ends of the one pipe. A shield extends about the nipple and conforms to the outside of the one pipe to aid in adhesively sealing the nipple thereto.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing or replacing pipe which extends between a toilet and a ferrule structure projecting from a soil stack (or other points in a sewage system) does not require replacing the caulked oakum and lead (Pb) joint which seals the ferrule structure to the soil stack. The method couples a discharge pipe to the ferrule structure with a compressible sleeve which extends over facing ends of the discharge pipe and ferrule. Ring clamps compress and seal the sleeve to the discharge pipe and ferrule structure. Ears project from a flange attached to one end of the discharge pipe at a floor which supports the toilet for supporting the discharge pipe from the floor. A nipple may be inserted into the discharge pipe for attaching another pipe intermediate ends of the discharge pipe. A shield extends about the nipple and conforms to the outside of the discharge pipe to aid in adhesively sealing the nipple to the discharge pipe.
