Don’t argue with an idiot someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.

When I got my journeymans license in 1967 we had to do two of those joints. It’s called lead wiped joints. You literally heated lead up to liquid and wiped it on the joints with special wiping pads. It was a real art to do Y’s and T’s. I never had to use it in the field.

I too had to wipe lead joints as part of my test.
It's not melted lead that is used though, it's wiping solder which has a lower melting point than lead.

Here in missouri I still see quite a bit of lead waste drainage. As long as it is not leaking or stopped up it is ok. The inside diameter on lead drainage is alot smaller than equivalent PVC pipe. Good luck running a sewer snake down it, especially when you hit the drum trap.

I still have my snake, but only use it in severe situations (my own house). Just don’t let your neighbors know you have it.
They say "the man with the most toys wins" and I think they are right.
I say "the man with the most tools, that knows how to use them loses, unless we charge for the knowledge".
