I may shortly have to arrange to seal off an existing metal (galvanised possibly) underground pipe after providing a new supply in place of this old one. Can any-one advise on the best way to do this, is there a modern fitting that will do the job, would hate to have to resort to threading the old pipe !
Capping galvanised under-ground water pipe
- Thread starter yottie
- Start date
disconnect the old supply.
usually the new pipe is connected to a few inches of the old supply by way of a plastic compression stop tap
engineers i've seen, do this live and just saw through the pipe whack the tap onto pipe, turn off tap & then join in the new plastic pipe
not saying this the correct way to do it
