I'm probably being terribly sexist here, actually, so I'd better give the massed ranks of Damsels a chance to prove they know more about this than some blokey forum :lol:
I'm wanting to fit a water butt to a drainpipe. I'll be using a diverter, and the usual method is to hacksaw out a section of drainpipe and fit a collar thing which contains the diverter.
The issue is that the drainpipe in question is made of cast iron :no:. My guess is that you can't easily hacksaw a section out of a cast iron drainpipe - in fact I'd be surprised if you can cut it at all without it cracking.
Does anyone know, or alternatively does anyone know a DIY forum where they would know the answer?
Thanks!
