i persume its a soil waste from toilet...i used a 12" cutting blade in my wizzer in the past but a rough blade in a hacksaw will do it aswell:)

i use a normal wood handsaw, it cuts thorugh easy and you get a nice straight cut

It is a waste pipe. I'll try a normal wood saw but what the hell's a wizzer???? lol

fook knows what a wizzer is lol, i always use a wood saw when cutting old toilet outlets, be sure to measure it first as some of the old outlets may only be 3" and not 4", you can get a correct pan connector but not in B&Q lol

pretty certain it's 4" but thinking about what you just said, at the the moment the flat above is PVC which comes down into my mates shop, it then has an adapter which fits on the outside of the PVC pipe but goes into the lead pipe, that makes me think the lead pipe must be smaller than the 4" PVC pipe.

 

If that's the case, I'll put a normal join on the PVC pipe and extend that down to where I cut it, then I'll use that original adapter at the join.

Is this for your next meeting with the guys at the body shop lol

wizzer

lol, Mark was is that obvious, it's what they deserve!!! ;)

 

I've got a wizzer in my garage and I never even knew! lol

Lead is quite soft so a hacksaw should make easy work of it
