Cast iron waste pipe.

I have a 4" cast iron waste pipe coming into the basement of a property. It appears to be coated with a woven mesh material which has then been painted. I wondered if anybody had any idea as to what the material could be. I've also come across similar on a 1/2" copper water pipe . Any help gratefully received as looking to bond the pipe subject to further investigation.

  • Unless the "woven mesh material" has a an asbestos base and you're thinking of cutting through it...


    I might suspect something like "denso tape" (applied to prevent corrosion) but all sorts of things might have been used in years gone by (hence the above comment).
