Hi,
I need to move a wc about 800 mm to one side to make room for a shower cubicle in a corner. The existing cast iron soil pipe exits through the floor and goes through a cast iron 90 deg bend into a straight length of cast iron pipe off at right angles to the wc. I would like to remove the existing 90 degree bend and extend the remaining cast iron pipe with a plastic pipe to the new wc location - using a further plastic 90 degree bend to complete the job.
My questions are: How do I separate the existing cast iron joint and then how can I fit the new plastic soil pipe to the cast iron straight length?
Are there any reasons why I shouldn't do this?
Any help and advise very welcome. Thanks.
