Zack discusses the issue of old cast iron stacks in historic homes, which are typically 4 inches inside diameter. Due to their size, they may not fit into a 2x4 wall, so swapping them out for 3-inch PVC pipes is a common solution. Leaving the cast iron pipes in place can lead to potential cracking and leaks. It is important to assess the age and condition of the pipes to determine if replacement is necessary. Ultimately, replacing the pipes can ensure a more durable and efficient plumbing system in the long run. Check out Zack's videos here and on social media - see links below.
