Cast Iron Soil Pipe & Fittings Handbook


Chapter 2 - Installation of Cast Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings


Painting Cast Iron Soil Pipe

             Cast iron soil pipe and fittings that have been factory coated with a bituminous coating can be painted if desired. A primer coat of latex emulsion paint, which is readily available in retail outlets, is applied. Following the latex prime coat, a finish coat of enamel may be applied. 

             The latex paint prevents the bleeding of the bituminous coating, and the finish coat of enamel in an appropriate color blends the cast iron soil pipe and fittings with the interior surroundings.
