    Joining chrome/copper to lead pipe

    I posted about my pipe replacement last week. Finally got over to Hajoca for the parts. Replaced the trap and the 90 (which came with a long enough pipe to hit the wall). Also scored some of that epoxy that you do with your hands. Anyway, I put the stuff in this evening. I had to shimmy the...

    Broken pipe flange/lip

    The PVC route will suffice. :D I looked at that closer, there is enough solder on there to build another Hoover Dam. :) The PVC route sounds perfect, I'll hit the plumbing place in the morning.

    Broken pipe flange/lip

    I cut the 90 off, at the joint was a piece that connected that to the main pipe. Apparently part of the pipe was damaged previously, as when I cut it part of the pipe between my cut and the wall crumbled. GRRRR.

    Broken pipe flange/lip

    The house was built in 1915. (never again) Could I resolder a replacement in? I have some soldering stuff from when I had to fix a few leaky copper joints in the mid 90s.

    Broken pipe flange/lip

    This morning the mrs dropped a contact lens down the sink again so I once again pulled the trap out. While reassembling it I noticed that the flange on the wall side is cracked about 1/3 of the way around the pipe. What is the best way to repair this? I didn't want to reassmble the unit until it...
