Will a plasma cutter cut a cast iron pipe?
Yes, it should, I actually have a project that needs me to cut a cast iron pipe, and my soulution was to use a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter was develiped to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materialls. Unlike a oxy-gas torch which is only good for steel which has a high Iron content, Plasma will cut steel, stainless steel (which has a much lower Iron content), Aluminum, and I am sure will cut other metals as well. The cutting action is based more on the extreme concentrated heat cutting the material more than a chemical reaction, or burning action of the material.
Can you connect PVC pipe to cast iron pipe?
Yes, it is possible. Unfortunatly, if you have a cast iron riser, you will have to chip out the concrete to get low enough to cut the riser to install a Clamp-all and a piece of PVC pipe. This might not be possible if you have a short riser. Then you would have to cut the cast iron behind the 90 degree turn. Either way, it's a pain in the butt. Call a plumber. It will be worth it.
