Lead Waste Pipes

[dml]

Hi,

Just wanted some advice on the best way to cut and then connect to old lead waste,so that I can get it back to platic waste to come up to the basin i am fitting.

Thanks

Hi! DML

One of the ways is to sweat in a brass liner to copper then you could fix plastic to that. If its a temporary job, a piece of copper waste pipe will do the same thing.

use a macalpine coupling the cheaper ones without the middle in are best for lead or use a stanly knife to cut the center out of a macalpine one may have to rasp the lead down or pack it out with tape depending on size
correct way is as previously said wipe in copper
