The best part of watching is no smell.

Old school shit right there most plumbers wouldn’t want anything to do with that job or they just don’t know

Like the video very informative thankYou . But you didn't show us how to pull out the pipe after taking out the lead drilling it

@plumb4uplusmorellc533 3 года назад

Great question Dave!! Once the lead is removed all that’s left is oakum (plant fiber soaked in oil usually, there is white oakum but it’s less common) you can pull the oakum out with needle nose pliers. That’s all that’s holding the pipe so it come right out after all the oakum is removed or likely while removing the oakum. Hope this helps!&

Why aren't you using high heat and compress air ?

It's possible to crack the cast iron with heat. I wouldn't chance it. Personally I would cut the inner pipe with a saws all in four places and knock the pieces out.

Why you just did not use a jigsaw

@plumb4uplusmorellc533 3 года назад

I don’t believe the baseplate of the jig saw is too wide work. That being said the only thing plumbers generally use jigsaws for is cutting holes in counter tops for sinks so it’s not a tool I think about using for much else...it might would work I’ve just done it this way for many years successfully. Thanks for the idea though
