Product Information

Choose a straight section of the lead pipe and, with the water turned off and the pipework drained, cut the lead pipe ensuring that this is square and clean. If there are any markings on the lead at this point you will need to carefully file them off so that the size is not distorted. So, as said above, use a sharp cold chisel or even a wood chisel you don't mind messing with, or anything like that such as a flat-bladed screwdriver, and work all around the cover's joint with the pipe. Use LOTS of gentle taps with a hammer rather than a few massive wallops - ok, it ain't going to break, but, well, chust to be sure it don't...

Lead Lock Compression Fitting

Do you think you are up to replacing all that lead pipe at some point? If so, I think you'll find it's fixed into that cast connector using mortar or similar, so that will need lots of gentle chipping away too, and try to avoid any of it falling inside that pipe. Talbot Push fittings have an internal grip ring and O ring. As water pressure increases behind the rings the strength of the grip and seal increases in line with the pressure.
