Default pvc to galvanized steel?

Hi --

I need to extend the pipe leading outside from my sump pump, but it's
never been extended and it's just a piece of galvanized steel pipe,
and the end of the pipe is flush with the brick exterior of my house.
It's a female end, but the pipe threads have rusted and corroded a
bit. Can I just insert a piece of pvc in there without threading it
onto the steel pipe? Does pvc glue adhere to steel? Any advice would
be appreciated.

Thanks, Dennis


I would try if at all possible to screw a galvanized nipple into the
female threads. Then connect the PVC either with a thread fitting or
a Fernco.
