I have a leaking steel pipe that supplies warm water to radiators in my house.
A plumber dropped by and said it would be easiest to cut the bad part away and weld a replacement. The pipe is about 2 inches thick.
The replacement is about two feet.
The plumber gave me a quote of about $2000 which I promptly refused.
What about using a fiberglass or something else? I'd rather just cut the cracked steelpipe part away and weld a copper replacement part. Any ideas?
