I have to remove a lead dead leg of water pipe underground. When I have cut out the T joint, what is the best way to join the two lead sections, considering they will be buried underground ? This pipe run will be used for up to a year before being bypassed by new plastic. Thanks, Simon.
the dead branch near the T joint and blank it off with a lead to copper fitting and a push-fit end stop?
No because it's still classed as a dead leg, even if it's only an inch long
A leadloc....there are several diferent types and they go on inner and outer diameter of pipe.
The issue then is getting the internal measurements whilst maintaining your water supply. Dunno how much the lead-loc fittings are, but I might get a few sizes so I know one fits, then try and return the unused ones afterwards. Simon.
There are not that many sizes, and the OD should give a good clue as to which one it is.
