Fun few days of cast iron soil pipes :( advice needed

[djob]

Just wanting some advice about a job I've got coming up.. I have two cast iron soil pipes to do on an old Tannery conversion. Basically I've temporally used 4" soil pipe to be able to pass an inspection now it's time for the real thing.. Obviously being an old building nothing is easy, if you look at the picture of the temporary soil you can see that the clips are packed of with copper; this won't be the case when using the cast iron, my question to you is how would you pack the clips of the wall for the best finish.. I'll put pictures of the cast clip fittings as well. Any advice or if you would do it another would be great. Thanks

wood painted black?

seen it done on a few old cast stacks

find a bit of wood the correct thickness use a holesaw. take the bit of wood out of the holesaw. dip it in paint. job done with a nice hole for the screw to go in.

Or you could use some black iron pipe cut down to length instead.

Use ten or twelve mm studding hilti anchors or similar cut and slide copper tube over exposed studding paint black jobs a good un....regards Turnpin

I would stick with copper spacers my self and just paint them black have seen the holesaw thing befor and it looks the dogs bits once done but takes a bit longer I would use some scrap 22 or 28 the finished job looks as good to be honest!

Just been on this site:
Rainwater Direct - Cast Iron Gutter/Cast Aluminium Guttering/Aluminium Guttering/UPVC Cast Iron Guttering - Installation Guide - Cast Iron

Is the statement below true for all cast Iron i.e. lead slips?

On Apex Heritage Cast Iron they are simply wedged with several lead slips 25mm wide to prevent any lateral movement. These slips should be knocked down into the 3mm—4mm gap between the outer face of the pipe and inside face of the collar, so that they are no longer visible. However where pipes are of small capacity which cannot be increased they should be both wedged and sealed with high quality sealant against a backing strip.
