Does the spec require the use of pipe for the sleeve? If not I'd look at sheet metal or PVC pipe split in half if non metallic sleeves are acceptable (though I hardly see the point of sleeving in that case), you may also want to talk to the masons building the walls, since they're going to have to build around the pipe anyways they may have a good solution and you might even be able to get them to do the sleeves for a few extra bucks. If it has to be pipe Mike Hill's suggestion of splitting the sleeves with a plasma is about the only way to go other than taking the lines apart.

There will be plenty of existing 1" and 1 1/4" pipe penetrating these new walls. What is the best way to sleeve existing small pipe?
