I have a leaking stopcock which I need to replace. It's attached to 25mm lead mains pipe which come up vertically. I have a lead to copper compression fitting to connect it up.
I was about to remove the old fitting, but dont have a spanner big enough for the nut, so I almost took my angle grinder to it as it's close to the wall and a hacksaw will be a faff, but I suddenly read that it was dangerous to cut lead. Is this the case?Pic:
