I'm fooling around with some of the work the plumber before me did on the waste stack, and came across a cut iron pipe end that looks pretty nasty.
I ended up doing all my cuts with a cut-off wheel, so everything came out flat and clean (2nd photo).
The cut I unearthed -- well, pic #1 speaks for itself. Is this typical of a pipe cutter on new no-hub CI? There's no way the neoprene sleeve was sitting flush on top of this. In fact, any fitting I place on top of this naturally wants to sit at a lean of 10 or 15°.
It's been installed for about a year, and has only seen light use connected to the only toilet in the house during construction. No evidence of leaks.
Should I leave it alone? I'm wondering what else I'm going to discover if I pull this section off to clean it up.
