Hi all, is this asbestos?
I attempted to replace my toilet some months ago but needed to move the soil pipe back towards the wall. As it didn't rotate\swivel as I expected, I decided to cut what I thought was a cast iron connector in order to insert plastic. However, using a reciprocating saw it went through like butter, I initially thought it was rubber but now I'm worried it night be asbestos. Luckily I was wearing a proper mask when I cut it and nobody else was home for 24hrs afterwards but that's the only precautions taken. My questions are, firstly is it asbestos and secondly can it be left like it is with plastic pipe inserted using MCALPINE PUSH-FIT SINGLE SOCKET DRAIN CONNECTOR BLACK 110MM (4255V), will that be safe going forward?
Thanks in advance.
