In my situation there is not enough room between the galvanized fittings to cut and have a stub big enough to use a no-hub adapter. I am working with a 1-1/2" waste line. I am wondering if I can connect one side of a No-hub adapter over the female portion of a galvanized fittings (maybe use a 2" to 1-1/2" no hub?) And the other to the PVC? Or am I not allow to put it of a fitting and it NEEDS to be on a "regular" section of pipe? (the "regular" section is under the floor on the second story and I don't want to pull the floor up).
Or should I try using a PVC 1-1/2" male threaded adapter to connect the PVC to the female end of the galvanized fittings (could someone recommend the correct adapter?)
Thank you for your help in advance!

if you are able to slip a rubber coupling over the fitting, you will be creating a perfect dam in the pipe that will quickly catch debris and clog.
you will be much better off removing the nipple stub and attaching to the fitting interior as it is intended to be.
what you are looking for is a 1 1/2 inch PVC male adapter.
It will look like this..
