Yes would be fine
 
Thanks Shaun. Seemed plastic was getting a bit of a bad press that was all...

It's ok depends what you can get hold of

but I would take the piece out the coupling and put a male iron in but that's me
 
Thanks all for your input, sorry for late response. The Philmac transition couplings mentioned are plastic. Would that be OK to use? I tried twice contacting the company who makes the primofit ones for more info but they never got back to me.
The Philmac couplings are excellent, they look bulky and are obviously used out of sight. You can come off of them in any material you just need the correct adaptor. Any decent plumbers merchants will advise you. I have cut out a lot of LCS in old council houses where its on the hot and cold water supply! Simply fit a Philmac and then your away in nice new copper.
 
Cut a section of iron pipe off, drop in small hose through open pipe. Siphon water out. Hold bottom elbow, heat pipework and unscrew. Fit new male iron to copper fitting sorted. Just make sure you protect the copper in the ground with insulation.
