The main water line into one of my apartment buildings broke today, and we replaced it and screwed the new PVC into the old steel main. After about an hour, the smallest amount of water is seeping out of the joint even with the joint tape. Is it possible to use a sealent (caulk or something) on this without having to cut the PVC pipe out again and starting over?
The alarm system activates automatically when you lock the doors. This is assuming your C-Class even has a factory alarm system. It was an option on the C-Class, not standard equipment. If you don't know, call up your local dealer with your VIN number. Ask them if it has option code 551 (internal Benz code for factory alarm). Another way to tell is to try it yourself. Leave a window open but then lock all the doors. Reach through the open window and pull open the interior release handle. If an alarm doesn't go offyou know it doesn't have one.
you can use a 4 by 3 sanitary tee. unfortunately the rise in elevation after adapting at floor level will put your pipe centerline elevation at about 9 above concrete floor. then when you add 90 degree elbow looking up to a toilet flange you will be close to 13 or 14 inches above concrete floor. you will need a cast iron chain pipe cutter to cut the vertical cast iron pipe the stack should be supported to prevent it from sagging or falling down. the condition and age of cast iron also can be an issue. the best solution would be to make the pipe connection underground. this will solve all the elevation problems and you could also add a sink or shower if you wish. note: according to code / wye fittings may used on the horizontal and vertical drains. tee fittings are to be installed on vertical drain lines. never lay a tee flat on the horizontal. a macerating toilet might also be cheapest / easiest option but it does demand electric and a tie in point for the drain. downside is pump maintenance or failure. personally the best professional option is an underground tie with concrete floor repair. remember gravity never fails.
