Cast iron question for the mature lot on here.

[Sharp Point]

Morning all, just a simple question for the forum elders

What size cast iron is 95mm OD, would I be correct in thinking 3.5” old school?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, the existing cast iron stack is very very old... maybe centuries old. So could I say that it is probably old 3.5” internal stuff?

Ok Bog what are you planning ? is it a listed building ? you will get battered if you biff it down. Sends us a piccy there is look alike 'cast ' plastic stuff. If its internal then cut it off down low..not too low get a ring on it into plastic and OFF you go
your 95mm and 3.5 inch is right BUT if is really old ...more than I am then ...the od tolerances can be a challenge...often a Multi Kwick will get back onto modern stuff, its not nice but works.....from
Old Central Heatking ! I will have to tell my new wife oh dear. centralheatking

Have a word with the old Glynwed Foundries mob at Telford. Changed their name a few times, Glynwed, Sinclair, St.Gobain and Hambaker. They were producing imperial size CI from way back in the 50s and up to the 90s you could still get adaptors.

What is it you’re trying to do/connect?

 

[Sharp Point]

Guys, the job is getting done correctly. I’m connecting onto a the existing original cast stack. All materials have beeen bought from Hargreaves foundry. We’ve carefully removed a piece from a spigot and renewing from there, to serve a new bathroom. The reason being that we’re connecting to there and not completely replacing from ground level, is that it goes into the street and me/ customer don’t won’t to open a can of worms removing council sandstone slabs on the highway to connect onto the assumed vitreous drains.

And yes it’s a listed building

Hargreaves foundry? Best of luck cutting that stuff!!

I would love to see a piccy of the finished job please ...the job sounds ace. A really technical job ..nothing like a job like this to sort the men from the boys. .Rob Foster

Eh!! I’ve already installed one stack. Proper caulked joints too.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Well... not the lead. Black ct1 as advised, much safer method.

Don’t quite get you mr C

Just trying to think why it matters other than pan connector end

Yes should be around 90mm id

no post 13?

but will be 3.5"

 

[Sharp Point]

I’ve built already, one complete stack in 4” pipe and the materials were from Hargreaves. I’ve got to connect onto an old section( that terminates on the highway) this is why I need to clarify the old pipe size( OD of 115mm approx) to purchase the new materials to connect on to.

 

[Sharp Point]

post 13?

Sorry I should’ve put ‘ previous materials’

You know what it’s like, trying to write whilst working.

Thanks and that is a last resort. I don’t think the heritage people will allow that though, they’re being proper strict and know their stuff too.

Damn, I’ll weld some ears to it if need be

 

[Sharp Point]

But hoping I can match up the old with new first, I hate being defeated

im sure Hargreaves could wip something up for you

 

[Ben-gee]

If the heritage people are strict and know there stuff, can’t they help you out with approved suppliers?

I find it easier using a diamond blade on cast it gives a lovely cut and no where near as much mess while cutting
