Open Stockpipe in wall
Any advice on filling up this wall? Old rusty stockpipe was buried in brick and cement. Picture is of replacement stockpipe. Do I bury it in cement and then put plaster? Hole is 12 foot long. Email me at augiesasso@yahoo.com.

If it’s a vertical pipe, it might be the waste stack, or main trunk line accepting drainage from all the fixtures in line above it. Without perspective it’s hard to tell.
That’s probably where the “stockpipe” misnomer came from.
The photo needs to be rotated. The crown molding and picture rail is on the left…that is actually the ceiling. So it is a waste pipe travelling vertically. It doesn’t look like its big enough to be the main soil pipe for the terlet.
MP, what are your thoughts on whther this should be “mortared in” or is it better, for whatever reason, to construct a chase?
tomgee’s idea sounds damn good to me. . .
looks like a vent line to me…nohub, 1 1/2 inch ..hmm
Ugh.
At 40 years old, I’m an old timer.
Not good.
if that pipe was replaced with this one, then it was damaged the first time a pipe was placed there. Stockpipe? that is a new one to me. This is a drainage or vent pipe for the plumbing …it has NOTHING to do with pipes for a stock pot on a stove. I would say put some wire mesh around it, STRUCTOLITE (my most favorite stuff in the world for plater wall repair), then finished plaster. IF you really want to get whacky, make a mold of the plater pattern on the wall, fill it with plaster, then apply it in place to make the match.
“IB…a “stockpipe” is what you have in a high-end Asshat-gentrified renovation that feeds one of those water faucets above the range to fill your stockpot.”
Though, in this case, it was apparently an really forward-looking asshat, as the OP describes it as old, rusty, and buried under ‘historical’ molding. And it’s huge.
or perhaps you were kidding. 😉
(I thought a stockpipe was what you flushed wallstreet down, now that the economy is in the sh*tter…)
MP, this is the problem with you old timers. You don’t change with the times. 🙂
Wait.
A “stockpipe” is what?
