Cast-Iron Piping: Old and New Still Very Popular

Mr. Rooter's Tip Of The Day: Using a pipe sleeve repair. 

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

“Because of its low cost and durability,” says Bob Beall, president of Mr. Rooter Plumbing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, “cast iron has long been the most popular material for drain, waste and vent pipe.” According to Beall, until recently it was also the most difficult to install because of its weight and the difficulty of joining it.

The conventional type, “still in wide use,” according to Mr. Rooter, “is connected at bell-shaped hub joints which must be sealed with molten lead and rope-like material called oakum.” A newer type, called hub-less pipe, is joined with sleeves and clamps. It can be spliced into an existing system of hub-type pipe to replace a damaged section or to add a new one.

Mr. Rooter says, “Leaks at hub joints can often be stopped by using a pipe sleeve repair.”
Two grades of cast-iron pipe are available, service weight and the thicker-walled heavy weight. Use service weight if your plumbing code permits, adds Beall, “it is easier to work with.”

“Both weights can be cut either with a saw and chisel or with a special cutting tool. Proper support is more important with cast-iron pipe than any other type, according to Mr. Rooter. “Because of its weight and because the hub-less joints are slightly flexible. Use pipe strap or in some cases, a special clamp is necessary.
