I own a 40 year old home in AZ that has an Orangeburg pipe teed off the
mainline to a faucet. The pipe is leaking under the driveway but I've managed
to dig it up and exposed about 3 feet. I'm trying to figure out the best way
to cap the line, I'll worry about supply to the faucet later.

If it only feeds a faucet, you may be able to slide 1/2 or 3/8 pex
inside the existing pipe.


Agreed. If it's a single line, you can cut each side of the leak and put
a pex connection on it. Otherwise, three feet is also enough room to cut
out the leak and solder a new pipe in place.

How does one put a PEX connection on orangeburg pipe? Soldering it
must be even more interesting.


Correct. I completely ignored the part he said Orangeburg. Forget what I
said.
