I remember the old boys claiming they used to fry eggs in it,never tried it myself.
I started college in 78 we were taught how t lead wipe,form T pieces etc,but generally by then,we converted to copper,and repiped.

You want to identify the main water supply material, and its stop-cock(s) location(s), and the run of the service. Test the shut-off(s).

As above, trace the lead pipe to its source Tee. If there's any chance that its gas, live or redundant, call a gas safe.

Forget about lead wiping or lead "soldering" if you just want to cut & cap the water pipe then MDPE caps are available.
