I need to temporarily connect to an old cast iron soil stack to allow some drainage to be moved. Q1. Can I cut through it with an angle grinder and diamond blade, or is a different blade best? Q2. What is the likely external diameter of the pipe and can I get an adaptor to take it from cast iron to PVC for the temporary connection. Thanks as always
You will need to fit a metal cutting blade to your angle grinder. You can get a cast iron to plastic timesaver coupling,pipe will probably 4".
Diamond blade would cut it. Depending on location, may have to cut out a notch in pipe first if using 4.5" angle grinder as blade wont read in one go. Once cut a suitably size flexseal can be used.
Would use one of the flexible connectors for a temporary job,but in my opinion, as a permanent job it just seems like a bodge.
