Have to do some repair work to my niece’s basement which is a very old farm house. Basically replacing a rats nest of all sorts of piping down there with pex.
One like goes out through the wall to the barn which is 3/4 galvanized pipe. I have some good size pipe wrenches and hoping to disconnect a 90* fitting before the wall and transition to pex. Trying to preplan it all and fear not getting the pipe apart and have to cut it. Will take torches along to try heat if needed. BUT, if I have to cut it, I’d there some sort of fitting to go onto unthreaded gal pipe? Something like a fernco or something. Any ideas?
