Tieger plumbing
That sir would depend on local codes.
Some areas require bell and spigot where you have to use a hub joint with lead and oakum, other will allow the use of a mission coupling that will adapt from extra heavy cast iron to no hub CI
The key is to make sure the pipe is properly supported prior to cuttng

When working in a building over 130 years old it is not uncommon to find the origional XHCI in perfect condition so when connecting to an 8" diameter line it is cost effective to tie in a WYE fitting
There is also a stronger coupling torque to 120 in pounds but 80 will handle high head pressures in case of a stoppage
The outside diameter of plastic pipe would be the same as galvanized steel or NO HUB CI
Thank you for asking as some bloke said this post was long over and I guess people still tread here
Just takes one post to get some lively discussion thanks again for asking
