I am in the process of redoing a bathroom and would like to move the toilet over a couple of inches.. (I am making the bathroom a little larger..) I have a lead bend currently and have read many posts on what to do in order to convert to PVC. However most posts I have read talk about removing the brass ferrule the lead is connected to and use the donut connection etc.. I am wondering however if I clean the brass, can I use a coupler to go directly to the brass?

The correct way is to remove the brass ferrule clean the inside of the hub out and use a Fernco "Donut" or simmilar product. There are different weights of cast iron used and the hubs are different sizes so you need to get the right size donut.
