Or, if you hit a coupler elbo etc, you could stuff the joint with oakum and fill it with liquid lead.

Re: Replacing Galvanized.........YEAH BABY


When you say drains do you mean the old big drain pipes which are like massive or do you mean like a drain pipe hooked up underneath a bathtub in crawl space? Because if your talking about those big fat main ones Tom has showed you the correct tool.
