Hi,
I am remodeling a kitchen. The wall behind my kitchen sink was open. I assume this was because of a previous water leak but it may have just been that way due to the drain pipe. The drain pipe is metal (I think) and juts out too far for me to put dry wall in front of it. I would like to replace this with PVC pipe. The current pipe goes down into the basement and is connected to PVC pipe via a threaded connection.
Firstly how can I remove this metal drain pipe? Do I need to use an angle grinder to cut it or should I be able to unscrew it?
Secondly, where the metal pipe goes into the plastic pipe can I simply unscrew that? If so is there a PVC equivalent that will just screw in there? I would like to avoid having to replace that Y shaped rodding piece if possible, but if thats my only option that should be OK.
