You want to replace old lead pipe connected to cast iron sewer pipe with copper How do you connect the copper pipe to the old lead pipe or to the cast iron pipe?

When I have to connect copper to lead "D" I usually solder the copper to the lead or wipe a lead joint depending on the diameter To connect copper to cast iron ,.... If there is a hub I caulk the copper directly into the CI with oakum and poured lead (molten) OR one can solder / braze a female adapter fitting and screw the copper into a CI female fitting

Why are fireplace pokers made of iron and not copper?

There are several reasons: * Iron is less malleable than copper so the tools can be thinner and lighter and still have the durability and strength needed * Iron has a higher melting point than copper * Iron does not conduct heat as well as copper so the handles of iron tools stay cooler longer * Iron is about a tenth the price of copper


Can you use cast iron clamps on copper pipe?

Not directly without some type of sleeving or protection between them. They are dissimilar metals and it will create electrolysis which will severely impair the copper pipe and create holes in the copper in the future.


Why is copper more useful than iron for building?

Copper is more malleable and can be formed easier. However, it is much softer than iron and doesn't carry weight well. Copper is more corrosion resistant than iron is and oxidizes very slowly.

Will iron oxide turn copper green?

No, iron oxide will not turn copper green. The green patina on copper is typically the result of oxidation due to exposure to air and moisture, which forms copper carbonate or copper chloride compounds. Iron oxide itself does not have this effect on copper.


Can copper wire be made into a magnet?

The copper wire has to be wound around a iron core to get the full effect of electromagnetism.


Between glass copper stainless steel and cast iron which one holds heat longer?

Cast iron holds heat longer compared to glass, copper, stainless steel.


Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?

Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.

What is the word equation for iron sulphate and copper?

The word equation for the reaction between iron sulfate and copper is: iron sulfate + copper → copper sulfate + iron.


What are two main types of pipes?

For supply, it is copper and galvanized iron. For waste, ABS (plastic) or cast iron.


Will copper displace the iron from iron oxide?

Yes, copper can displace iron from iron oxide through a displacement reaction where copper will replace iron in the compound. This reaction will form copper oxide and free iron.


Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?

Iron is more reactive than copper, so when iron is added to copper sulfate solution, iron displaces copper in the reaction and forms iron sulfate. This process is known as a displacement reaction. This allows copper to be extracted from copper sulfate solution using iron.


What is a word equation for the single-displacement reaction of iron and copper sulfate?

The iron will displace the copper as it is more reactive. here's the equation: iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate +copper


Will a reaction occur when copper is heated with iron oxide?

Yes, a reaction will occur when copper is heated with iron oxide. The iron in iron oxide will react with the copper to form copper oxide and iron.


Copper sulfate plus iron equals?

When copper sulfate is added to iron, a chemical reaction takes place where the copper in the copper sulfate replaces the iron to form copper metal and iron sulfate. This reaction can be represented by the equation: CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu.
