Thanks Zanne, I Just got home.
This job is an hour away which is rare.
That’s a bummer the videos wouldn’t work.
I use an iPhone for everything. Got an iPad but don’t use it cause it doesn’t fit in my pocket
here’s some snap shots
This was the cut that made it through the 4” service weight cast iron pipe.
I had to use my SDS hammed drill to chip enough concrete out of the way to remove the hubs.
This is using the grinder with a 4-1/2” Lennox diamond blade to trim the pipe to a workable angle for the 4” no hub wye to sit on the half hub short sweep. It took a while. My first angle didn’t work because of the contour of the sweep so I trimmed a second try and that worked. It wasn’t a true 45 degree angle but after the wye sat on top it worked.
Here’s the extracted beast! It’s heavier than I thought it would be. Service weight is no joke. Installing underground service weight sanitary systems we use the bucket of the excavator to push the stubborn pieces into a hub using rubber Charlotte seals.
Glad you enjoyed! I certainly did
