STANDARD FITTINGS, CAST-IRON PIPE PLUMBINGDescription: These come in a variety of shapes and have hubs, or rims, at the ends. Buying information: Cast-iron fittings are heavy and unwieldy to work with, but are required in many localities. Joinery is with hot lead and oakum. Use for waste pipe only. How-to hint: Only an experienced plumber should use this method of joinery. It's too dangerous for amateurs. |
