Anyone use this on a lead bend? I have lead sewer pipe that has a broken flange.

We just installed one. It was easy to install and seemed to seal completely, but it hasn't been there long enough to know if it will hold up. I sure hope so.

Fits minimum 4" lead pipe. Made for cast iron but lead pipe I used it on was a heavy gage piece of lead sewer pipe. Oatey PVC & neoprene sleeve tightened up all the way and seated just fine.

I know of guys in the field who do use this on lead bends. They say you just have to be careful tightening the bolts. So, technically, "no," but field experience says "yes." I used one of these on a cast flange in a slab house...the old flange snapped right off at the floor. I marked the screw holes, drilled with carbide bit, and used plastic anchors and #12 stainless screws. It worked wonderfully and is a permanent fix.

I highly doubt this will damage flexible s/s pipe. The rods and brushes are flexible. Works great on my pellet stove pipe.

I actually used this wire to replace a section down by the creek that was continually getting broken by debris and deer running through. It's been a couple months since the replacement and I have not had any breaks. I really like the heavy quality of the wire. To your question though, I didn't replace the part where the wire twists around itself out to the perimeter so I can't speak definitively to that. I am not an authority but I imagine it would be the same. Good Luck!

Can You get to part of pipe that starts the bent? Normally, these are held on by one screw or so. If you can take off the elbow (bend part) this would allow you to run the Gardus LintEater straight down the 14 feet. From that point, you could run the LintEater on the other half of the pipe. This depends on if the LintEater would not make the bend without taking the elbow off. You also can run the Linteater starting from the outside going inward. Use a blower to blow air into the pipe to finish the job. I guess what I'm trying to say is you can also run the LintEater from inside and outside to cover most of the pipe area. Hope everything works OK for you!

i only bent metal with is but i did bend up to 18 guage stainless steel with no problem if that helps you out

Another solution to this is to use the adapter that comes with this kit, then connect it to the Hygeia narrow mouth adapter. That way you can use the Hygeia flange. Works great for me

No. I use a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. Works fast and does not hurt pipe or fitting.

You will need to use a lead in hose in most cases. What size are your current hoses?

yes,good luck on your project. check your thread, should be good to go. update you may want to use plumbers tape on your threads, and do not over tighten; you will do a good job, just take your time, and check for leaks until they are okay!

i have used on pvc sewer lines and cast sewer lines. so long as the sewer line is solid, you should not have any problems. my experience as a home owner has been excellent!!! i have opened drains that rotor rooter could not open lol!!! i called them out to help me and told them that i had already run a sewer auger through the sewer and they told me that was their answer and if it did not work for me then they would be wasting their time and my money... glad for the guys honesty.

No, it is designed to bend at the 'relief' sections. This type of anode is used when there is not enough 'head-room' to put a non-flexible anode in your water heater. If you bend it back and forth several times it will break. You want to bend it back when you get to the next section so that it goes as straight as possible down into the water tank.

it is intended to bend soft copper tubing. i doubt that it would hold up bending stainless steel. much of the tubing holding parts are a hardened plastic.

I used it for a filler hose on my boat,it went through a 90 degree bend with no problems.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

Bend the coil. Doesn't bend very far. Almost to the base of faucet. Works great for me.

I don't think they make an s/s flex pipe. Stainless steel doesn't flex. But if your talking about an adjustable elbow, Yes it is made to do this. You don't want to send it through a multiple of turns, but this tool works fantastic for double wall pellet stove pipe. When you get it, you will notice that its not really tight fitting as it goes through. Its just enough to give you peace of mind that your pipe is as clean as you can get it. That is of course without replacing it with new pipe. It worked perfectly for me, and I would recommend it.
