I have a cracked 1.5" pipe elbow going into a 4" main drain under basement floor. How do I fix this?

The pipe and fittings in the photo don’t look familiar to anything I’ve seen before. Is the OP not from the UK?

Doesn’t really matter in terms of answering the question.

There is a Whitby up by Scarborough, however I dare say there are several places called that around the world.....

Yes it does matter in my opinion.
The OP is asking for advice from professional plumbers, as I have been in the trade for 35 years I was interested in this photo, as I have never seen this design of pipe.

Also if the OP lives overseas this may help with the advice, it would be pointless a UK plumber saying trot down to Screwfix and buy a connection to fix the issue if the pipe size and system are totally different.

Hope this answers your question

Yeah that vertical needs to be supported first, IF its partially cracked ie the upper circumference only Id clean it as best I can and fill the crack with Puraflex 40 which will basically go off like solid rubber but only as temporary measure.

I dried it and put more yellow solvent and it has done the trick temporarily.
A closer look it looks as though the connection that goes into the 4" pipe is 2". To my untrained eye I think the elbow on the 1.5" downpipe is glued to that 2" inlet into the 4" pipe.

Many thanks for the reply.
As mentioned I didn’t think I had seen the pipe design before.

Best to see if any local plumbers have a socket saver

also it looks like it’s cracked due to movement due to not support / clips / joint under stress

might be best to remake the joint with a piece of tube and a 90 instead of a street 90

To me it

You need a wheeler Rex pipe hog it will bore out the broken fitting allowing a repair to be made. Kop

Yeah I just ordered a socket saver. Now all I need to do is chip away a little concrete under the fitting and get a right angle drill. $$
