    4” osma fittings advice please?

    I’m doing some 4” soil and I’m having a debate about what can be done with these fittings. They’re both 45s. The double socket has a ring seal on it facing up and the spigot of the other 45 goes into it the bottom. The 2nd 45 is then glued on the spigot and socket. Is this acceptable?
