Again with the hose clamps. I've never seen a real plumber connect things with hose clamps.
It's totally normal to use hose clamps in this situation. This a PVC to Cast Iron connection. That's the only way to do it.
The small clean-out is kinda fucking dumb though. And the big hose clamp looks like it's installed wrong. Can't possibly be tight enough and be at an angle like that.
I stand corrected. I checked where my plumber had connected pvc to the iron stack, and it does use hose clamps but as part of something a little more convincing. It's basically a sleeve with 4 hose clamps mounted on it.
Me neither. Good catch. Hose clamps are best on hoses.
