The plumbing in our house is from 1944, it is galvanized steel or iron pipe, both the supply and the drains. It is in pretty good shape for its age. However, I am rebuilding the shower and I need to get the shower drain pipe out of the way. I will probably replace the supply as well.
Can I disassemble this type of plumbing with pipe wrenches? It is pretty old, kind of rusty, and the joints don't look like they are going to turn. Or do I have to put a metal blade on a saws-all and cut the sections to be removed?
As to the supply pipes, I am going to replace the shutoff valve before I do anything else.
