Quick Tip for Connecting to Old Copper Drain Line

What happens here

Using a RIDGID No. 902 ratcheting no-hub wrench, tighten the two metal clamps on the adapter. Tighten the clamp on the copper pipe side first, then the clamp on the ABS pipe side. The wrench is designed to click when it reaches the correct torque, ensuring a secure, leak-proof seal without damaging the pipes or the adapter. A nut driver or socket could be used as an alternative.

Goal: Tighten Clamps to Secure Connection
