Cast iron soil stack help!!!

[Goodwin10.]

Hi guys got problem, original cast iron soil stack collar joint is split.
pipe appears not to be 4inches round but smaller 3 1/2 inch maybe??
When grinding the cast iron would the weight of the rest of the pipe come down??
and what fittings would best to use?? Thanks

 

[chris watkins]

if it is 3 1/2" L.C.C you can get a 3 1/2 x 4" stepped Timesaver coupling then use 100mm (4") pipe.
As far as the rest of the pipe coming down, well I normally use 2 or 3 "sky hooks" to secure the top half then cut. LOL Can't tell with out a look-see how much above & how well is it fixed????

Thanks, the fitting is sorted, rest is tomorrow! Ta mate them sky hooks seem good!!!!!!

 

[chris watkins]

They are a handy piece of kit an't they. good luck.

Thes fancy new metric ones aren't too bad , but the old imperial ones were the B*llocks.
You only had to shout Sky hook to the lad and he was in like a shot with them.
Made a change for him looking for a long weight.

so, what are these sky hooks you are talking about and where can i get them? They sound like a piece of kit every plumber should have

 

[chris watkins]

They are in the builders merchants always next to the :- long weights, glass nails, left handed screw drivers, bubbles for your spirit level, skirting ladders, .......................come on what else have I forgot ??

 

[mutley racers]

A long stand is often invaluable in this trade.

stirpped and tartan paint

Ar yes, I forgot about Tanz favorite colour, Do you still need those special brushes with the bristle that work in two directions at once with every stroke, or have things moves on ? I suppose they use a spray gun now day's ?

 

[snowhead]

Glass nails.

 

[Koogatubac]

Glass nails.

There awsum!

Or ask for a fork 'n' knife very quickly and loudly next time you're in a posh restaurant! "Waiter, can I please have a fork 'n' knife".

 

[chris watkins]

Glass nails.

That was the second one I remembered snow, I suppose they would be in the box next to the rubber nails. So apart from the following what else has not been mentioned ????

sky hooks, long weights or stands (to those in the know, two completely different pieces of kit), glass & rubber nails (don't mix 'em up), left handed screw drivers (only to be used by left handed plumbers), bubbles for your spirit level (to replace the one that fell out when you used your level upside down), skirting ladders (to reach them hard to get to places), stripped & tartan paint (different tins of course).
There must be more how are these young guys going to be able to work if they don't know the full range of tools & fixings.

Skirting ladders lol! :bucktooth:

When at college we had a sweetshop/sandwhich shop opposite and a lad was sent in to ask the lady for a quarter of fallopian tubes.

He came out red faced shouting "you ............'s" :censored: :44:

Do they come in a Metric size now ?? & If bought & fitted does that mean you can now put this type of scaffold up first before the building ????

most scaffold does go up before the house now

 

[snowhead]

most scaffold does go up before the house now

And they build the roof before the walls are up.

 

[AWheating]

they put the scaffold up first on some timber framed houses, it does look wierd like somebody has knicked the house.

You build a well from the top down? Amazing isn't it?
