How do you wipe a lead water pipe joint?
To wipe a lead joint is an art that old time plumbers (when plumbers were plumbers) and not plumbers that know how to to put together plastic pipes with glue. My dad was one of those plumbers. Now i watched him wipe a lead joint a few times. I my self was never to good at it. I did it 2 times in my 30 years as a plumber so here i will tell you an alternate method my dad taught me. I believe you have an existing wipe joint leaking that connects with another type of pipe. 1st u cut out the wiped joint then take a 1" brass union end without nut slide over lead pipe than you flare lead over face of union. With other end of union connect to pipe you are connecting to then put the union together.What I do is remove the section of leaking lead pipe take a brass nipple Or copper tubing type "L" and wipe a joint using flemico # 1 solder or use a composition of 40 -60 as this gives a longer pasty range to work withUse a non acid type flux and use a ladle and wiping cloth . The key is to make sure both the lead and new pipe is toughly cleaned and fluxed
