I've decided to replace a short section of pipe that is quite corroded inside and/or has lots of deposits on the walls. (This was my previous "leprosy" post.) Anyway, what sort of torch do I need in order to loosen up the old oakum and lead joint that connects this pipe to a very heavy-duty Wye (right before it exits building)? Also, please give your tips for how best to do it.
I'm not clear if there are different torches for copper vs. cast iron joints... different temperatures... different flame shapes, etc? Please advise.
Thanks!
