    Cast iron pipe has been widely used for plumbing installations since the 17th century due to its durability and resistance to abrasion and pressure. However, it is susceptible to corrosion and leaks at joints. This type of pipe comes in various diameters from 50-150mm and lengths of 150cm. When cutting pipe, additional length must be included for connections. This chapter provides tables to determine the effective length, weight, and additional engagement length needed when using cast iron pipe in installations.

    Measuring, Cutting, and Joining Pipes

    3-1 Cast Iron Pipe

    Description:

    Since 17th century, cast iron pipe had been largely used for all types of plumbing installation. It was
    proven good and durable material for house sewer, house drain, soil, waste, and vent pipe on
    various types of building.

    Advantages:

    Cast iron pipe was known for several of its properties:

     High resistance to abrasion;


     Durability;
     Incombustible; and
     Can withstand high pressure.

    Thus, it became the preferred pipe material throughout the 19 th and 20th century.

    Disadvantages:

    Cast iron pipe, however, also had its set of disadvantages. Some of it includes:

     Corrosion due to chemical action in the system


     Susceptible to water leak and unwanted sagging due to vibrations which loosen lead calk
    joints.

    Additionally, the Code limited its use to less than 25-storey high building where constant vibration
    is present.

    The commercial length of the cast iron pipe is 150 centimeters long with various diameters ranging
    from 50 to 150 mm with the following pipes: Standard pipe, single hub, double hub, and hub less
    pipe.

    Recommended Use:

    o Standard pipe: Used for a well-fitted hub with spigot connections.


    o Single Hub: Used when the pipe length is more than 150 centimeters long.
    o Double Hub: Used when a pipe needed is shorter than 150 centimeters long. When cut, both
    can be used since they have hubs for connection.
    o Hub less Pipe: Used as a replacement for single hub to do away with caulking of joints. It is
    cheaper and easily connected using a neoprene rubber sleeves.

    3-2 MEASURING LENGTH OF CAST IRON PIPE

    The end portion that will enter into the hub is added to the face length of the effective distance.
    Table 3-3 ADDITIONAL LENGTH IN CUTTING CAST IRON PIPE

    Pipe Diameter Engagement Length


    mm in mm cm
    50 2 62 6.2
    75 3 68 6.8
    100 4 75 7.5
    125 5 75 7.5
    150 6 75 7.5
    The additional length is for one end connection only. If both ends are inserted into the hub, the length should be doubled.

    ILLUSTRATION 3-1

    Find the length of the cast iron pipe required to connect the installation, and determine what type
    of pipe should be recommended and why.

    SOLUTION

    1. Length of the face distance= 120 cm


    Diameter of the pipe= 50 mm (2’’)
    Additional length= 6.2 cm (Refer to Table 3-3)
    Add: 120 cm + 6.2 = 126.2 centimeters
    126.2 cm is the length of the pipe required to connect the installation.

    2. The type of pipe recommended is double hub, because the length required is shorter than the
    commercial length (150 cm). The excess pipe with hub after cutting could be used on other
    installation.

    ILLUSTRATION 3-2

    Find the number and length of the cast iron pipe required using 100 mm (4’’) diameter.
    SOLUTION

    1. Face to face distance= 360 cm


    Effective length= 142 cm (Refer to Table 3-2)
    Diameter of the pipe= 100mm (4’’)
    Additional engagement length= 7.5 cm (Refer to Table 3-3)
    Thus, two end engagement is: 7.5 cm + 7.5 cm = 15 centimeters
    2. Total length required is:
    360 cm +15 cm = 375 centimeters
    3. Divide the total length by the effective length of one pipe.
    375 = 2.62 pipes
    142

    4. The whole number 2means two pipes at 150 cm long. The amount of .62 means the fractional
    part to be cut or taken from one pipe. In short, this is less than one pipe length.

    5. Therefore, the pipes required are:


    2 pieces 100 mm at 150 cm = 3.00 meters
    1 piece 100 mm at 0.93 cm = 0.93 meters
    Total length = 3.93 meters
