It looks like you have a 1/2" sweated copper male-threaded adapter onto which the pot-metal tub spigot (the part you hackswaed out) was screwed. If so, don't try to use a pipe wrench to twist it apart. You'll need to heat up the male adapter with a torch to melt the solder and caefully pull the adapter off with Channel-Lock pliers. Then snad down and clean the end of the horizontal copper pipe section, resolder on a new male adapter, and then screw on the replacement spigot.

Looks like there is a lot of corrosion at the end of the pipe, and hopefully its just at the end where the old spigot was attached.

If you are careful, you won't damage the proximal ends of the connection, but don't count on it. If you can't fix it using my suggested technique, you'll have to get behind the tub somehow. The best way to do that would be to get access to the wall behind the tub.

Good luck,

Subject: Cutting 4" CI Sewer Pipe
Posted: 15-May-2012 at 4:28am

Wally,

You can cut 4" CI with the Sawzall, but you will go through several blades doing it. I almost always use my Ridgid snap cutters for this sort of job, cause it's quick and easy. I reserve the Sawzall for those really close-quarters cases where I can't get the chain around the pipe with my close-quarters Ridgid cutter.

It's possible to crack old corroded CI with a snap cutter, but it's more of an issue with fragile "corked" clay pipe than CI, and it is more of a problem with horizontal runs that tend to remain wet. I can't say that I've never cracked up a CI pipe with the snap cutter, but when I did the pipe was already shot and more of it needed to be replaced than the section I was splicing into.

Unless you've had experience and know the "feel" of a snap-cutter on CI, you'd do better with the Sawzall. A word of caution: the Sawzall vibrates a lot and is not guaranteed to not crack a weak pipe. You can minimize the risk by going slowly, letting the saw do the cutting without apply too much pressure, and replacing the blades when they get dull.

Good luck,
