Hi all. My scaffolders pulled off a section of the iron soil stack. In fairness it was in poor condition. I've just been up the ladder to have a look. There's a short section that joins at the 'Y'. I thought it was all cast iron, but looking closer it's quite badly dented, so it may be hard to cut back to a section that's properly circular. It feels metallic when I tap it. The pipe appears to be a single piece (no joins) that does a 90 degrees in to the wall. I'd prefer not to replace the through-wall bit. Questions:
- what's it made of?
- can I cut it with an angle grinder, which was the original plan?
Appreciate any thoughts and comments.
ETA: To clarify: original plan was to replace Y with a plastic Y, add a small section of new pipe, and new plastic pipe above and below, joining to better condition cast iron pipe lower down.
