- The joints in CI sanitary pipes are filled with lead. The joints in CI rain water pipes may however be filled with cement mortar. Joint filling needs to be done very carefully to avoid any leakage. At a later stage, it becomes most cumbersome to repair joint leakages and the plaster/finishing work gets damaged. Repaired finishing never attains the same look that it was having originally. Better is to ensure leak proof and airtight joints. For this, centrally place the spigot of the upper pipe in the socket of lower pipe or fitting. Now fill one third of the socket space around the pipe with hemp yarn and press it well with caulking tool available with the plumber. Next, fill the balance two-third of space with molten lead.

Tip of the Moment
Check sunken slab surfaces for any cracks. If there, cut them into small ‘V’s and fill them with a polymer like ‘crack fill’. Now mix 1 part of acrylic emulsion (liquid) with 2 parts of polymer modified cement (powder) by weight to form a cream like paste. Apply 2 coats of it with brush on the slab surface.
