Cutting Barrel Steel Pipework For new cylinder

[SimonG]

Failing what Chuck said above, an agricultural engineer may be the way to go. Lots of steel on farms.

I deal with this all the time. I wouldn’t use primofits unless zero other options.

Unwind from a joint and convert. It’s no particularly difficult but old steel does break and you need a back up plan, just in case.

Here’s one I found last week while replacing a bath for shower. Steel pipe rusting from the outside. Had to dig out back to a joint and replace.

Out of interest, what area of London are you?

Yes the above is def steel barrell pipe - Want to say thank you to this forum - I managed to angle grind the cylinder out and then blow torch the connectors and they came out easily! Was amazed.

Have now bought a fittings to convert to copper and could not have done it without the immense knowledge on this forum.

I am in finchley - Now need to find someone to install a vented indirect cylinder - That certainly looks and sounds easier then messing with barrel pipework
