Hey there!
I've got a 3" cast iron soil stack, with a 1 1/2" Tee fitting which has a plug in it. There's some goop at the joint, it's pretty hard. Not quite JB-weld hard, but hard. It's beige colored.
There's not a lot of room in the space, but I've gotten an 18" pipe wrench on it and i can't budge it.
Any ideas? Heating w/ propane or oxy-acetylene? Just a really big cheater bar?
Obviously, breaking the fitting is the LAST thing i want to do!
thanks in advance!

ps: This 1.5" tee is where the kitchen sink / dishwasher used to drain. A previous owner of the house routed this drain past the main stack, and out to what is apparently a dry-well or something... it's not connected to the septic. The county sanitarian issued an order when the place was inspected that it be reconnected to the septic, which is fine by me. IF I can get that plug out!
